From my studio in Casarano I work on projects all over Salento: homes, spaces for work and retail, interiors and the restoration of historic buildings. I accompany every client from the first idea to the handover of the keys.<\/p>\n<h4>Raised on the building site<\/h4>\n<p>The building site was my first school. My father Pantaleo, a builder since 1958, was an irreplaceable teacher: working alongside him I watched houses and apartment blocks, schools, hospitals, churches and other public works take shape day by day, the fruit of precision and hard work. Growing up, I learned to manage site accounting, the relationship with clients and the technical side of every building.<\/p>\n<p>This passion led me to a degree in Architecture at the University of Florence, enriched by a period of study at the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019Architecture de Lyon. In 2007 I founded my studio, which has since worked for private clients and public bodies.<\/p>\n<p>The La Cozza Restaurant project in Salve was published in the international magazine <em>CER Magazine<\/em> and in the catalogue <em>Decorevolution<\/em> by Ceramica Fioranese; one of my works also appears in the book <em>100 tesi\u2026 sostenibili<\/em> by Marco Sala (Alinea).<\/p>\n<h4>What the studio does<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>New builds:<\/strong> homes, residential and commercial buildings<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buildings for work:<\/strong> industrial buildings, production sites and offices<\/li>\n<li><strong>Public spaces and buildings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Renovation and restoration:<\/strong> historic homes, palazzi and masserie (farmhouses)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Interiors:<\/strong> homes, shops, restaurants and bespoke furniture<\/li>\n<li><strong>Details and shop drawings:<\/strong> bespoke shop drawings and prototypes for iron, wood and stone work, followed with the craftsmen<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exhibition design:<\/strong> trade fair stands and display spaces<\/li>\n<li><strong>Permits and approvals:<\/strong> building permits, landscape authorisations and regularisations<\/li>\n<li><strong>Site supervision:<\/strong> control of the site, quality and costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>My approach<\/h4>\n<p>Every project starts with listening: understanding how you live or work in a space is the starting point for combining beauty and functionality, with clear times and costs from day one. The process, step by step, is described on the page <a href=\"\/en\/metodo\/\">Our method<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>The studio\u2019s logo<\/h4>\n<p>It tells the story of how we work. The circle is the shape of nature: the sun, the heart of a flower, the rings of a tree. The square is the shape of man, the one we build houses and cities with. Cut in half, they become solids and voids, the two materials every architect works with. In the last symbol, circle and square merge: man and nature can live together, through simple forms and respect for space. It is the balance we look for in every project.<\/p>\n<p>Have a project in mind? <a href=\"\/en\/contatti\/\">Tell me about it<\/a>: let\u2019s start with a meeting to understand together what you need.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4589","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.5 -
