Workshop

Depuis 2016, nous menons une recherche visant à synthétiser les enjeux de l’habitat contemporain à travers des formes architecturales fortes et significatives.

Atelier

Nous sommes une agence qui conçoit l’architecture comme un processus de recherche partagé. Chaque projet naît de la confrontation des idées et de l’écoute mutuelle, pour donner forme à des concepts et des espaces porteurs de sens.

Équipe

Notre équipe adopte une organisation horizontale et dynamique, favorisant l’expression libre des idées et la collaboration interdisciplinaire.

Biographie

I have been collaborating with ARW since 2020.

I began my career in 2006, collaborating with the studio Camillo Botticini Architetti, where I developed a solid foundation in design and a sensitivity towards innovative and high-quality architecture.

In 2007, I moved to Rome, where I started working at the Labics studio, one of the most recognized and dynamic firms in the Italian architectural landscape.

I collaborated with Zaha Hadid Architects, gaining significant experience in large-scale contemporary architecture. Here, I refined my skills in managing and coordinating multidisciplinary and international teams for innovative and challenging projects. I was responsible for the development of the residential project in CityLife, Milan.

In 2011, I founded the Lab36 studio, a creative laboratory dedicated to tailor-made architecture, where each project is developed to specifically meet the client’s needs and aspirations. Lab36 also supports various international brands in developing their presence across Italy. This experience strengthened my process management skills, from design to execution.

In 2020, I joined ARW studio, taking on the role of Project Manager in overseeing complex buildings, with a focus on technical innovation and execution quality. Thanks to my extensive experience and strategic vision, I became the Technical Director in 2024, continuing to lead projects of national and international importance.

Notre approche

Travail d’équipe

Chaque voix compte. Le dialogue ouvert et la critique constructive nourrissent la créativité, permettant à chacun de contribuer pleinement à l’innovation. Nous valorisons la formation continue à travers des sessions internes, des interventions d’experts, des accompagnements personnalisés, des voyages d’étude à l’international et la participation collective aux principaux événements de l’architecture.

Développement

De l’idée au projet. Notre approche de la conception est transversale : elle commence par la définition des objectifs et des moyens, et passe par l’expérimentation, la planification, la recherche et l’analyse de faisabilité. Nous accordons une grande importance à la transformation progressive de la vision initiale en un projet construit, à travers des études approfondies, des maquettes, des modèles 3D et un suivi rigoureux sur des plateformes BIM.

Réalisation

Nous abordons la phase de chantier comme une mise en scène. Notre expérience nous permet de coordonner et de superviser l’ensemble des acteurs et des étapes nécessaires à la bonne réalisation du projet, en respectant les techniques, les délais et les budgets définis. Cette phase implique une collaboration étroite avec les maîtres d’ouvrage, ingénieurs, entreprises et maîtres d’œuvre, pour garantir la qualité et la cohérence du résultat final.
