Stefano’s primary focus at ZHA includes the design of key features, delivering design packages, and coordinating between clients, consultants, and stakeholders. With a background in various art forms, he brings an artistic and parametric design approach to his work. His expertise lies in the interconnection between geometrical, technical, and theoretical aspects of architecture, allowing him to translate ambitious ideas into buildable solutions that align with client visions. His attention to detail ensures that projects achieve their full potential. Beyond aesthetics, he excels in using parametric tools to optimise building performance, improving not only shapes and forms but also functionality and user experience.
Prior to joining ZHA, Stefano worked at architectural offices in Milan, Amsterdam, Rome, and London, including Foster + Partners, Studio Fuksas, UNStudio, PLP Architecture, and Büro Ole Scheeren.
