ABOUT
us
We are a group of architects and urban planners who have been operating between Italy and South East Asia for more than 20 years.
Our mission is to provide design services with particular attention to the sustainability of the interventions.
Our philosophy is to recognize the history and morphological, social, economic and environmental characteristics of the site, so that the project is a natural evolution.
The master plan is the most important phase of the design process, because it defines the orientation of the project, the concept, the main ideas, the structural and functional scheme of the interventions.
We bring with us the culture of the Italian and European project and at the same time we combine an understanding of the urban and architectural development dynamics of the Asian contexts in which we operate, to create highly recognizable interventions but at the same time respectful of the cultural and social contexts of the sites.
