I'm Vittoria...
an architect and...
...in every project, I leave nothing to chance...
My path
My story begins between Milan and London. After my bachelor’s in Architecture, I moved to London for three years, working at an interior architecture practice while completing a master’s at the University of Westminster: an experience that taught me to see space differently.
Back in Milan, I completed my master’s degree, qualified as a licensed architect and worked at one of the city’s leading studios, before setting up my own practice.
My method
I oversee every project from start to finish, from planning permission and site management to electrics, plumbing and interior design. To me these aren’t separate stages but one continuous process, in which every technical decision is already shaped by the end result. That is what allows me to offer a genuinely turnkey service, with me as the client’s only point of contact: I coordinate contractors and suppliers myself, so whoever entrusts me with their home never has to deal with anyone else. Much of my work happens before the site even opens: meticulous groundwork means that by day one, everything has been thought through, ordered and is ready to go. That is why my sites run smoothly, quickly and without interruptions, keeping timelines short without ever leaving clients with rushed decisions made under pressure.
Space and materials
I love planning spaces cleverly, making the most of every centimetre, and working with a restrained palette of materials in a range of forms and finishes: a consistency of design that never tips into monotony, but brings coherence to a rich and varied whole.
Where the setting allows, I like to salvage period features (a creaking parquet floor, an original window…) and give them new life in a fresher, more contemporary space, without ever losing the character of the place.
When I’m not on site, you’ll find me on my yoga mat, in the kitchen or out walking Giovanni, my Jack Russell, who rules the house more firmly than any client. I’m a little obsessed with order: my bag matches my outfit and everything at home has its place. Friends say I overdo it. I call it an occupational hazard.
But before I’m an architect, I’m someone who lives in spaces. I put myself in the shoes of the people who will live in them, listen closely to their needs and tastes, and turn them into harmonious, workable spaces, because
“before a home is designed, it must first be imagined through the eyes of the people who will live in it”.
