The firm is established, lives and intends to grow on the resource of the diversity and

complementary nature of its founding partners.

The interior design, the non-standard exploration of architectural materials and scenarios are

professionally integrated with the effort to control spatial intuitions at the same time innovative

yet feasible. Not only matter, but also skin... and vice versa.

The preliminary meeting with the client, the synthetic interpretation of his needs as well as the in

progress sharing of the final goals is the core of our work. We strongly believe in good

comunication as the raw material for a good project...

Synergies

GGA Studio aims at embodying a creative matrix ad projectum, constantly transforming,

reconfiguring and implementing itself for the best result possible, of course by keeping safe the

client’s satisfaction and ours, too.

The methodological input is shared and targeted in accordance to the effective requirements of

the given assignment, while the following steps of concept definition and development is

entirely coordinated by the Studio itself and the supporting partners choosen for a specific

know-how consulting.

Contemporaneous problematics, reversible choices and unexpected solutions are the tools we

daily work with. The passion for our work, our energy.
