About 

I work in Italy as a freelancer (Project Architect / founder in my own studio) since 1996, and like consultant for Extravega Milano Architectural Fabrications, for 1 year.

I decide to move from Italy in order to work on interesting projects. 

I never stop learning and I love to work and confront other people and other ideas.

In the last few years I shifted my interest to the world of luxury houses and hospitality (hotels, spas, retail spaces) °. (advanced training course at the Politecnico di Milano).

I always had great interest in the search for new materials  and their use in combination with classic materials,

My figure as an architect summarizes a complex experience that goes from the building design, supervision until a detailed definition of the interiors and furnishings.

Experiences that allow me to have a vision and control over the whole project.

and residential is my principal sector of work.

As a seasoned Designer, I identify the strengths of each project I take on and develop them while recognizing weaknesses and addressing them. I am used to working on projects from their inception, encompassing feasibility studies ensuring compliance with code, adherence to architectural specification, and timely project completion. I have also been regularly involved in spearheading the architectural design, managing site, construction and engineering meetings, as well as monitoring teams from design conception through building execution. I have experience in a variety of projects of all scales, including renovation projects. As a result, I have extensive knowledge of construction techniques and materials, and these experiences have allowed me to have vision and control over the whole process.
