Andrea Vattovani Architecture (AVA) is a young studio specializing in architecture, urbanism, as well as research and design. Founded in 2008, our team has already developed over 60 projects in several countries. Our Graz based studio has worked on a variety of projects, each one having been developed with particular attention to its individual case, while holding on to AVA’s mission.

Specifically, we believe that as planners and designers of urban projects and buildings, we have the responsibility to improve the city’s quality through creating real solutions. Second, for private projects, our state of the art tailored architectural design caters to specific clients’ needs simultaneously aiming to improve their quality of life.

More generally, some of the key strategies of our team are creative reduction of form, meticulous attention to detail, and always achieving a noble architectural design with a strong focus on functionality and accurate response to site surrounding. Architectural responsibility is the main focus of our attention at AVA; moreover, it is evident throughout all stages of our projects, from initial conceptualization to project completion.

Being an architect is a delicate and multifaceted task. One must not only be an excellent technician, but also have artistic, creative qualities, tied in with patience and amazing listening skills, not short of a psychologist. Further, amazing organizational skills, and an acute awareness of the influence one exudes on peoples’ lives are also of utter importance.

That is why, at AVA we avoid formalistic and overly fashionable architecture, instead striving for clear communication of ideas through our projects. We aspire to create timeless architecture by reducing form, efficient and functional use of materials, at the same time remaining conscientious of costs.

The AVA studio developed with the ideas and goals set out by Andrea Vattovani, a young and successful studio that has since participated in competitions and projects internationally – in countries such as Italy, Austria, Germany, Bulgaria, the United States, China, Thailand, and Finland just to name a few.

Additionally, Andrea Vattovani has been appointed as an Adjunct Professor at the Institute of Urban Design in the Department of Architecture of the Technical University in Graz.
