Expertise
The studio works across architecture, interiors, research, and consultancy, approaching each commission with careful attention to context, use, and spatial quality. Expertise is understood not as a fixed set of services, but as a flexible framework that can be adapted to different project types, scales, and conditions.
Scope of services
Services may extend across the full life cycle of a project, from early evaluation to completion on site, depending on scope, complexity, and specific requirements.

Method
The practice adopts a methodology developed and consolidated over time through extensive experience with a diverse range of clients, contractors, and international contexts. The framework outlined below represents a general process, tailored to the specific nature of each project, as well as to the client’s requirements and objectives.
The aim is to ensure a process that is clear, transparent, consistent, and rigorously controlled, fully aligned with client expectations.
Preliminary Analysis
This phase establishes the foundation of the project through the comprehensive collection and evaluation of all relevant information.
- Collection and assessment of all relevant project information, including site context, regulatory constraints, and specific conditions
- Site inspection and measured survey
- Initial consultation with the client to define requirements, objectives, and overall vision
- Preparation of a detailed project programme, including an initial construction completion timeline
Design Concept
This phase explores alternative design solutions and defines the overall direction of the project in close collaboration with the client.
- Development of multiple design proposals
- Presentation through drawings, reference imagery, and functional diagrams
- Structured dialogue with the client to evaluate alternative solutions
- Alignment of design direction with project objectives
- Selection of a preferred option for further development
Design Development
This phase translates the selected concept into a coordinated and fully defined design solution.
- Advancement of the selected proposal
- Definition of all technical, aesthetic, and functional aspects
- Specification of materials, finishes, and building systems
Construction Documentation
This phase produces the detailed technical information required to accurately execute the project on site.
- Preparation of comprehensive technical drawings
- Development of bills of quantities
- Compilation of all documentation required for construction
Cost Planning and Project Scheduling
This phase ensures financial control and organisational clarity prior to the commencement of construction.
- Invitation to selected contractors to submit cost estimates
- Detailed review and analysis of submitted tenders
- Presentation of cost evaluations to the client
- Contractor appointment by the client
- Coordination of technical documentation with the appointed contractor
- Initiation of procurement processes
- Formalisation of contractual agreements
- Development of a detailed construction programme
Construction Management
This phase oversees the execution of the works, ensuring quality, compliance, and adherence to the approved design.
- Full oversight of the construction phase
- Site supervision and coordination of all consultants and contractors
- Monitoring compliance with the approved design
- Continuous and transparent communication with the client
- Delivery of the project in accordance with the agreed design intent and requirements
All phases are adapted to the specific needs, priorities, and constraints of each client and project.
The studio brings together design thinking, technical control, and process management to develop coherent and well-considered solutions, shaped each time around the needs of the client, the character of the site, and the complexity of the project.
