About 

Licensed Architect in Italy, Spain and Belgium with multi-faceted project expertise from residential to commercial works with recognized projects in Europe and the US. Offices in Milan, Barcelona and Los Angeles.

Architecture is like the art of crafting a great story that inspires and shares with many. Creating meaningful and profitable experiences that inspire and uplift many. Each project represents a unique set of attributes, people, and culture that can greatly enhance the quality of life. However, it requires the art of architecture to take on real-life (stories) and craft it with materials that promote healthy, creative, inspiring environments that enhance and respect the earth.

My studio serves each client by bridging a broad array of professional and technical disciplines in unique ways. Regardless of the building type, my goal is to provide next generation services that advance a culture of creativity, and inspiration.
