Registered licensed architect in Italy at Ordine degli Architetti di Milano
I am a sailor from Trieste and I moved to Milan to follow my passion for architecture. I believe everyday life takes a direction only through interactions between people. The friendships I built helped me to become who I am now. Also in architecture, the aspect that attracts me the most is the relationship between people and space and how they influence each others.

RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR DESIGN
Residential interior
Personal work
Milano 2021 - 83 sqm
photography: Davide Galli
The casa383 project is based on a layout change and a complete renovation in terms of materials and finishes. The interventions create a large living area with a kitchen, eliminate the existing hallway to give space to the rooms, locate a sleeping area with the addition of a new bathroom, and expand the existing bathroom to include a laundry corner. New flooring in long, narrow wooden slats and matte light blue resin plays with the rooms of the house to functionally cover the necessary areas. A large custom cabinet welcomes in the entrance and conceals the study area.
Interior design Work experience Roma 2020 - 60 sqm team: studio Lys
The studio develops the interior design for burger chain restaurant Burgez. For each new opening, an ad hoc project is designed, considering the state of the places and proposing a general concept to recreate the Burgez atmosphere. The characterizing elements of the dining area are used for the different set-ups: a particular development of the ceiling, an interesting background covering that gives greater depth to the space and a system of luminous lines that makes the space attractive also from the point of view of lighting. For each project, particular materials are chosen that interact with a use of color. All the furniture is custom designed and is repeated in the different Burgez shop to maintain continuity.

Work experience
Milano 2018 - 100 sqm team: Elena Martucci SRL with Studiocarta
The Casa CA project focuses on the redesign of the interior spaces, with the only structural intervention aimed at modifiying the bathroom so as to make it accessible from the bedroom.
The space is characterized by the design of the floor: the arrangement of the recycled marmette defines the pattern of the wooden floor, highlighting the different functions of the rooms.
In the main bathroom the wood climbs on the custom furniture and on the washbasin-bathtub volume, recreating a Japan-inspired space.
The kitchen is composed of a slate volume and of two wooden-and-iron kitchen chests with inwards doors. The design and the choice of the materials relates the kitchen to the rest of the custom furniture in the dining room.
to create a single space, yet marking the intervention with iron portals. The equipment of both the kitchen and the dining/studio area is concealed by a 12m wooden panel, treated like the wall with mouldings similar to those of the ceiling. In correspondence with the table and the kitchen volume, the wall is interrupted by some slate-painted elements. The aesthetic element of the existing corridor doors is carried on in the entrance hall to create a wardrobe. In the child’s room, a lean white-painted iron structure, topped by a rope net, adds a lifted play area.

2020 team: studio Lys for Zucchetti. Kos
The project for the new display system is part of the artistic direction that the studio carries out for Zucchetti group, a company dedicated to the bathroom and wellness world.
The concept of the new display system includes different types of modular display units, which when combined, create different compositions according to the need.
Plus:
- Speed of configuration
- Ease of assembly
- Possibility of continuous updating
This easy-to-install system consists of vertical wall and free standing and console elements: thanks to the modularity of the display panels, the system can be composed on the basis of the products you want to promote the most. The system is also easily renewable over time and adaptable to updates in terms of finishing and insertion of new products.
Premium configurations host the latest collections and are characterized by shelves with special finish coating on which the products are directly fixed. Like all the shelves in the system, the Premium display unit’s shelves can be detached from the basic structure and placed on a support surface.
Public space
Work experience
Bagni Misteriosi, Milano 2016 - 130 sqm team: Elena Martucci, Lisa Pokorskaya Federica Wetzl and Ivan Zazzali
The design of this wooden bench originates from the concept of a theatrical backdrop, related to the presence of Teatro Franco Parenti in the same complex. This way, the client’s need to store the pool’s outdoor furniture lead to the realization of an element useful also for the pool’s clients to rest in the shade.
MASTER DEGREE THESIS
Master Degree Thesis
Academic work
Arona, Lago Maggiore 2015 team: Filippo Giano and Federica Wetzl
The thesis looks at the sport of sailing through the design of a complex conceived for the teaching and practice of this activity. The area is located north of Arona historic city centre, Lago Maggiore. This space is currently in a state of total abandon. The project retrieves the previous use of the area, indeed a sailing school, and through the creation of new structures, better suited to serve the citizenry, restores a space to its function as a recreational and public field.
The existing concrete platform, once a gas station, is transformed into the base of the new construction, divided into five small-sized volumes, located on different levels. The layout of the buildings leaves one open central space, suited for ground activities related to sailing lessons. The project is the result of a careful analysis related to the sustainable use of energy resources present in loco and the characteristics of the area, such as the different heights, the risk of floods and the shadow of the big tree (populous alba).
