PROJECTSINCOMMON
Projects in Common is a group of architects and graphic designers with a shared design vision and a dynamic, concept driven, multidisciplinary approach. A diffused practice with offices in London, Milan and Turin, where the four partners work on innovative concepts for retail, residential, workspace, hospitality, temporary design and communication. Together with the typical services of an architecture, interior design and communication office - from preliminary design to site supervision - Projects in Common proposes more experimental projects in tune with the latest trends in contemporary architecture and design, blending different disciplines: architecture, graphics, set design, media, art. An approach in constant evolution, dealing with each project from different angles, always focused on current lifestyles, work habits and clients’ expectations.
