Our Design Firm is base in Milan.The company was founded in 2008 after working for many famous and celebrated architectural firms in theUk and Italy.
Our work represents the combination of experiences gained abroad together with the tradition, material analysis, research, and high quality of Italian design. We provide a full range ofarchitectural services, developing feasibility studies, masterplans designing buildings, sustainable technologies, building conversions and renovations, interior design, and custom made furniture.
Each project brings different challenges and complexities, for which we seek to provide specific team collaborators, maximising potential of the overall projects aspirations in the interest of our clients.
PRACTICE /
We believe that a project ofarchitecture starts with the meeting, developing an open dialogue withthe client in order to understand and develope all details, the specific knowl-edge of the site including its history in order to maximise its potential.
Space can be modified at each different scale of design, redefining boundaries between many disciplines such as:Creativity, Research, Communication, Sustainable Technologies, Tradition,always referencing the relationship to people who will enjoy using the final proposals...
PROCESS /
6 Residential Projects have been selected as representation ofour work.

The extension of a seaside villa in the Tigullio Gulf,has been the occasion to combine all characteristicsof a seaside house in a single space.With a precise fusion into the surroundingenvironment, the new luxury space faces theMoneglia bay, through light cuts and rocky walls collected by it’s own excavation.
The wooden flooring melts into the bathroom rocky finishing, while the bright white of the wall gets warmed up by the okra Japanese red, lighted by the sunset.
