The new nursery school in Romano di Lombardia, designed for children aged 0 to 2, is conceived as an architectural device that actively supports early processes of growth and learning. In this project, space is understood not merely as a container of activities, but as a formative agent capable of shaping relationships, fostering autonomy, and nurturing a child’s perception of self and environment. The spatial layout is clear and legible, with each environment carefully calibrated to promote orientation, security, and independence, integrating pedagogical intent with spatial and perceptual quality.

Villa Lyla is a private estate that explores proportion, layered forms, and a grounded relationship to its landscape within a tropical setting. Situated on the island of Nassau, the home presents a peaceful retreat on the canal water’s edge — a contemplative environment that balances formal rigour with a relaxed, climate-conscious approach to living. Set among lush gardens, with a large infinity pool and offering direct access to a boat dock, the residence is closely attuned to both its natural and nautical surroundings.

The project is set on a former military site offering an exceptionally open landscape, where the urban fabric appears to have been erased. The absence of contiguous built context allows for complete freedom in siting and architectural expression. However, the plot allocated to the project is relatively constrained in comparison to the program. Rationality, therefore, guided both the implantation and the overall organization of the building.

Ložionica’s revitalization project transforms Belgrade’s historic railway site through adaptive reuse and new structures, offering a unique mix of offices, public spaces, and cultural programs within a challenging urban context. The site represents a few of the remaining industrial heritage mementos of the Belgrade riverfront area, which has been undergoing significant urbanization over the past few decades. This led to the announcement of an open architectural competition in 2021 by the Office for IT and eGovernment of the Republic of Serbia and the national platform Serbia Creates, organized by the Association of Architects of Serbia. The brief asked for a new home for all creative industries to meet under one roof, a multifunctional open public space, and the addition of one new mixed-use office building.

The prefabricated concrete building with a white sheet metal roof renews the tradition of the Po Valley agricultural landscape, historically characterized by the presence of elementary volumes defined by simple Euclidean geometries.

A beauty salon focused on hair extensions, located in the residential complex Unit Home. The project began with an empty shell space. The main task was to create a logical layout with a clear separation between open and private zones – a challenge due to the large number of columns in the center of the room.
