Architecture Studio in Tuscany for International Clients — Design-Led Guidance Through the Entire Process
Many of our clients come from the United States and across Europe, often approaching us after purchasing — or while considering — a property in Tuscany. They are usually looking for an architect who can not only design thoughtfully, but also guide them through the realities of renovating or building in a region where regulations, historic context, and construction practices require careful navigation.
We combine the role of designer and trusted local guide — approaching each project with an artisanal mindset, where design quality and clarity of process go hand in hand.
An independent and personal studio
We work as an independent architectural practice, representing our clients’ interests throughout the project and remaining separate from real estate agencies.
You will work directly with us from the first conversation through design development and construction. As a small studio, we intentionally take on a limited number of projects so that we can stay closely involved at every stage.
On significant projects we are regularly present on site — typically visiting weekly during active construction — and after each visit we provide written updates and photographic reports so that clients abroad remain fully informed.
When we become involved
Our primary focus is the architectural and interior design of each project. Most clients engage us after acquiring a property; however, when helpful, we can offer an initial professional opinion during the evaluation phase to clarify feasibility, potential constraints, and the likely scope of work.
We coordinate a trusted network of specialists for planning permissions, structural engineering, and building systems, allowing us to concentrate on design while ensuring that technical and regulatory aspects are handled with appropriate expertise.
What we typically work on
Our experience includes:
-Rural farmhouses and country properties, both listed and non-listed
-High-quality apartments in historic centres
-Second homes and private residences
-Hospitality and small accommodation projects
​
Design-led process with careful development
We approach each project as a careful design exercise rooted in place. Particular attention is given to architectural character, interior design, material selection, and collaboration with local craftsmen and suppliers.
We work closely with clients to define priorities and budgets, often taking the necessary time to resolve design decisions thoroughly before construction begins. This deliberate pace allows the project to develop with coherence and control.
Our role typically includes architectural design, interior design, coordination of consultants, tendering with contractors, and ongoing involvement during construction — always remaining the single point of contact for our clients.

Communication and clarity
Because many of our clients live abroad, clear communication is essential. We provide regular updates by email with photographic documentation following site visits and remain available to discuss progress, decisions, and next steps as needed.
Working in Tuscany
Renovating or building in Tuscany requires sensitivity to local regulations, landscape context, and construction traditions. Our role is to help clients navigate this environment with clarity, ensuring that expectations, timelines, and procedures are well understood while developing a project that feels authentic and carefully crafted.
