We believe in architecture that speaks with what is already there.

It preserves its identity and accompanies its evolution.

Without ever overturning it.

Full profile
Ritratto di Giacomo Lombardo

Giacomo Lombardo

Surveyor

I am a surveyor trained in Italy and I have been in independent practice since 1990.

A passion for my work and an interest in environmental questions have led me, over the years, to look closely at the relationship between a building, its services and the context they sit in.

I turned to the CasaClima protocol early on, following specific training and developing detailed expertise in energy efficiency, the integration of building services, and energy saving applied to buildings.

Inês Cavadas

Architect

I am a Portuguese architect, trained in Portugal and working as an independent practitioner in Italy since 2020.

Daily contact with Italy’s built heritage has deeply shaped the way I design, and has given me a strong respect for the architecture of the past. I believe in interventions that speak with what is already there, that preserve its identity and accompany its evolution without overturning it.

How we work

Five steps, no surprises

If you have never commissioned a project before, this is what happens from the first meeting to the end of the works.

  1. Listening

    A first meeting with no obligation, at the studio or on site. We work out what you need, what is possible and what it costs. The outcome is a written quote with timings and figures, not a verbal estimate.

  2. Survey

    We measure what is there: a laser scanner for buildings, a drone and GPS topographic instruments for ground and levelled plans. We check cadastral and planning compliance: this is when discrepancies surface, far better now than once work has started.

  3. Design

    We draw in BIM: plans, sections, services and materials all live in a single coherent model. You see the result in 3D and in renderings before a single brick is touched, while changing your mind still costs nothing.

  4. Permits

    We prepare and file the applications: municipality, heritage authority, structural office, land registry, energy certification. We handle the dealings with the authorities and keep you informed on the status of each one.

  5. Construction

    Site supervision, cost accounting, safety coordination. We check that what gets built is what was drawn, and we close with the certificate of occupancy and the land registry update.

Contact

Tell us about your project

We reply within two working days. If you would rather talk in person, come by the studio: we are in the centre of Montespertoli, Monday to Friday.

For a quote it helps to know from the start where the property is, what you would like to do with it, and whether you already have documents — floor plans, land registry records, earlier permits.
