Architect working at the seam between material and light. I design calm, durable spaces — homes, galleries, and the occasional stubborn renovation. Principal at Studio Rossi, Milan.

I trained in Milan and apprenticed in Basel, where I learned that architecture is mostly about restraint — knowing what to leave out. My studio takes few projects a year so each gets the attention it needs. We work in concrete, oak, and daylight, and we design for the way a building ages: patina, not decay. Every project begins with a single question — how should it feel to arrive here?

// mission: Build spaces that are quiet now and still generous in thirty years.
