About

If someone had asked me, at the start of my studies, what kind of architect I would become... I probably would never have imagined this path.

I am an Italian architect, with a background in Architecture and Engineering. But instead of starting in a studio, between concept and render, I started... in a factory. As a technical developer, in a company that produced decorative facade elements.

And that is where everything changed.

Because suddenly architecture was no longer just drawing or idea. It was matter, constraints, details to solve to the millimeter. I began to understand what it really means to build. To turn something beautiful... into something that can exist.

Then came Algeria. My first construction site abroad, as a technical consultant.

A completely different context, more complex, more demanding. I was working on an ERP project, with extremely rigid technical standards. And there I understood something fundamental: aesthetics alone is not enough. You need to know how to dialogue with technologies, with those who produce, with those who build. You need to make luxury detail coexist with industrial precision.

Back in Italy, I kept moving between studios and companies, always a bit in that border zone between design and execution.

Until I arrived in Paris.

Here I worked as a project manager and site manager for an Italian general contractor, following luxury commercial projects. And there... everything is amplified. Nothing is standard, every detail is unique, the timelines are extremely tight, and the stakeholders are many.

It is an environment where you must hold everything together: vision, technique, production, site.

And maybe it was right there that I understood what my way of doing architecture really was.

After ten years immersed in the execution phase, in 2026 I decided to open my studio in Paris, and LVSFNC Architecture & Design was born.

Not to move away from the construction site... but, on the contrary, to bring it into the project from the very beginning.

Today what I try to do is this: create architecture that is aesthetic, but also aware, concrete, buildable. An architecture that does not stop at the idea, but already knows how to take shape.

Because in the end, for me, the real project is the one that manages to make it all the way.
