The studio brings together their two distinct yet complementary professional paths. With more than 20 years of experience, the two founding partners established the multidisciplinary practice in 2012, operating on a global scale while maintaining a design identity rooted in Italian culture. The firm is defined by an approach that spans diverse typologies and contexts, from residential architecture to hospitality, retail, yacht design, and product design. This cross-sector expertise informs a design practice that eschews a repetitive, signature style. Instead, the studio develops each project as a unique experience defined by proportion, materiality, and context. At the core of m2atelier’s work is an ongoing exploration of materials, spatial balance, and proportion, complemented by a rigorous attention to detail. Its creative process involves an ongoing dialogue between vision and pragmatism to achieve solutions that are both disciplined and evocative. Over the years, m2atelier has built an international portfolio of projects for prominent brands and clients worldwide. Key projects include CORE: Club New York, a multilevel space that integrates cultural, wellness, and hospitality functions into a seamless spatial narrative, and ORA by Casa Tua in Miami, which showcases an approach to hospitality that prioritizes intimate atmospheres and tactile materiality. Other highlights from the firm’s portfolio include Norway Summer House, an understated dialogue between architecture and nature set in the Nordic landscape, and a private residence in Merate. Both demonstrate the firm’s ability to translate different identities into cohesive, enduring structures. In the nautical sector, the Azimut Grande yacht set a benchmark for typological innovation and spatial quality, envisioned as “architecture in motion.” M2atelier views design as an open, evolving process that adapts to diverse cultural contexts while maintaining internal coherence. Architecture thus serves as an interpretive tool. Every project emerges from a close reading of the site and the client’s specific needs, resulting in spaces that prioritize quality, longevity, and perceptual balance.
