House with Reflective Furniture
n the Nomentano district, just a short walk from Villa Torlonia, Set Architects has completed the renovation of an apartment within an early 20th-century building, reinterpreting its traditional layout through a contemporary lens.
The project is designed for a young family and engages with a layout typical of the period: a sequence of independent rooms, with ceilings approximately four meters high and openings in load-bearing walls that defined a strongly rigid distribution. The client’s brief called for larger, more fluid spaces capable of adapting over time to different domestic needs, an ambition clearly at odds with the existing plan.

The Concept of the Corporate Citadel
Located at a strategic gateway to Parma, the Chiesi Research and Development Centre is a 90-million-euro investment that transforms the landscape dominated by major infrastructure into a "corporate citadel." Spanning 60,000 square meters, the complex is modeled as an urban-scale organism where open spaces and structural elements balance functional rigor with morphological diversity.

Project • By Edoardo Milesi & Archos • Rural
Borgo Banditaccia
Set along the ridge of a Maremma hillside, between two valleys and in visual dialogue with the distant fortress of Magliano in Tuscany, Borgo Banditaccia is restored as a unified organism. A rural settlement that shaped the agricultural landscape for over a century, later reduced to a fragmented presence, now re-emerges through a project that weaves together architecture, landscape, and the human dimension of living.
Andrea Ceriani
The intervention is not conceived as a simple renovation, but as a process of reconciliation between rural memory and a contemporary way of inhabiting. The project takes as its generative core the only authentic remnants of the original complex—the vaulted cart tracks and the compact northern volume&m... More

Villa Cinzia
A large window onto the sea is the theme of this vacation home, a villa nestled within the landscape of the Gulf of Tigullio, at the foot of Mount Portofino.Our studio handled the architectural design, the interior design, and the furniture design, working in our characteristic way - simultaneously across different scales of the project, weaving them together in a continuous back-and-forth process, zooming in and out.
