Meet Our Founder

The LOGA team is led by founder and creative director, Alvaro Lopez, a master artisan with 30 years of experience, who has become known in his field as a visionary who can make any challenging project come to life.

More than an expert, more than a craftsman, Alvaro is a woodworking prodigy, who found his passion at just 10 years old while studying under his father—an equally talented wood artisan—in Guanajuato, Mexico, a city so beautiful and renowned worldwide for its architectural marvels that it was declared a World Heritage City. In fact, the state of Guanajuato is so stunning that it has two World Heritage Sites, the other being San Miguel de Allende. Surrounded by so much architectural splendor and master design, it was destiny for Alvaro to become a design-build artist.

By 13, Alvaro was being commissioned to create his own projects. Around this time, Alvaro overheard his father and mother talking about the business opportunities in the United States for skilled carpenters. At that moment, Alvaro knew in his bones that his business goals would be reached in the U.S. At 18, with the dream of America in his pocket, a strong work ethic and a unique skill, Alvaro made it the U.S.

Still a teenager, Alvaro couldn’t get hired in construction or carpentry right away because of his youth, so he worked odd jobs to put a roof over his head, even working as Chinese food cook for nine months. He returned to Mexico to mature a bit, got married and had a child. Still, he had that dream. When he returned to Los Angeles, contractors noticed his skill and distinct vision right away, and the stars aligned when Mohamed Hadid offered him the chance to be part of the design team on many of his luxury home projects, including the home where Michael Jackson last lived. And, the rest, as they say, is history. Today, Alvaro stands proudly as the embodiment of The American Dream.
