The people
The people who
sign the drawings.
Architects, interior designers and engineers in one office. The person who explains a decision to you is the person whose team drew it — from the first sketch through approvals to handover.
STUDIO
Who we are
A studio, not
a letterhead.
A multidisciplinary team of architects, interior designers and engineers working across Europe and the UAE, united by an Italian design culture and by a preference for work that still looks considered in fifteen years.
The studio is deliberately structured so that nothing critical is subcontracted. That is not a cost decision — it is what makes it possible for one person to stay accountable to you from the first site visit to the snagging list.
Our mission
To bring structural sophistication, streamlined project orchestration and a holistic design procedure to every project we take on — turning an idea into design excellence that transcends boundaries.
The team
Six people you
will actually meet.
Each card is one discipline lead. On a live project you deal with these people directly, not through an account manager.

TEAM
How we work together
Four habits, not
an org chart.
An integrated studio only helps a client if it behaves like one. These are the working rules that make that true.
01
One person answers the phone
You are given a single point of contact who is inside the project, not a relationship manager who has to go and ask.
02
Coordination happens before issue
Architecture, interiors and engineering resolve their clashes in the studio. What reaches you is already agreed internally.
03
The person who drew it defends it
Whoever produced a drawing is the person who takes it to the authority and the person who explains it on site.
04
The same team finishes the job
Nobody is handed to a delivery department after concept stage. The names on this page are the names still on the project at snagging.
ONE TEAM
Studio culture
What the studio
optimises for.
An integrated studio only helps a client if it behaves like one. These are the working rules that make that true.
Collaboration
Architecture, interiors and engineering are one team on one drawing set, not three companies negotiating an interface. It is the reason the coordination holds.
Craft and curiosity
An Italian design culture where a drawing is expected to describe how something is actually made. The studio values a considered detail over a fast answer.
International outlook
Built work across seven countries, so an unfamiliar set of local codes reads as a normal part of a project rather than as a risk.
CULTURE
Where the team sits
Two offices,
one team.
The Gulf work is drawn, engineered and approved from Abu Dhabi; the European work and the material culture come from Cortina.
Delivery office
Abu Dhabi, UAE
Architecture, interiors, engineering, authority submissions and site supervision for the entire Gulf portfolio are staffed here.
