New Projects in Progress

 Stay tuned!
The office is currently working on a new series of projects underway in Milan, Rome, Turin, Florence, Maremma, Chianti, and Pisa.
These projects span residential and commercial sectors, including hospitality, exhibition design, and corporate offices, across a range of scales and contexts. It is a constantly evolving body of work that encompasses construction sites, concepts, and new collaborations, all guided by the same commitment to the quality of space.
We’ll be sharing updates and images of our ongoing projects soon.
