Public Places
My vision of architecture also applies to public places. Whether it is museums, places of worship, spas, restaurants, stores, or anything else, I always try to thoroughly understand the specific needs of each context in order to create unique environments that enhance the uniqueness of the place and encourage active and fulfilling user engagement.
Diocesan Museum
The need to transform some rooms in the Cloisters of Sant'Eustorgio, which with the basilica forms one of the oldest monumental complexes in the city of Milan.
Derset
A beautiful Milanese restaurant, owned by a French star chef who decided to return to Italy after success abroad, has been renovated with lights and colors.
Serbelloni Palace
An auction of a hundred works of art organized by auction house Sotheby's was to find space in a historic neoclassical palace in the center of Milan among stuccoes, decorations and original furnishings.
Salumeria della musica
An industrial archaeology building used for goldsmithing production has been converted into a public performance venue for live jazz and pop music concerts.
Acquatime Prati
A Roman basement was transformed into an Aquatime water fitness center through renovation using dehumidifying methodologies
Acquatime Trieste
The rooms converted into a wellness center had floors that were not suitable for receiving the weight of the aquabiking machines, so it was necessary to consolidate it without going down in height so as not to interfere with the building's foundation.
Art Gallery - Brescia
A barrel-vaulted cellar connected with an office on the ground floor has been converted into an art gallery and wine bar.
San Filippo Neri
Conservative restoration of a 1950s church using innovative technologies to meet new requirements for vandal resistance.
Mirabello
A historic Milanese store has been given furniture and lighting with a strong character of innovation.
Salumeria dello Sport
A long-disused restaurant has been converted into a sports event screening venue.
