From first idea to finished building
Architectural design and new builds in Gallipoli
Designing is not drawing a plan: it is understanding how to experience a space before it exists. Whether it is a new house, an extension or the complete rethinking of an existing property, the path is the same: it starts from how you will experience those environments, not from how many square meters there are.
New buildings
A new house is designed starting from the land: orientation, view, shadows throughout the day, distances from the borders and requirements of the urban plan. From there the shape of the building and the layout of the rooms are born, together with the authorization process that makes everything achievable. I follow the project from the first volumes to the delivery of the construction site.
Extensions and recoveries
Many interventions start from something that already exists: a house to be enlarged, an inherited property to be brought back into use, an attic or a floor to be recovered. Here the design works on an existing constraint, and the most delicate part is understanding what can really be done before becoming attached to an idea.
The project is one, the referent too
Architectural project, rendering, planning applications and construction supervision are phases of a single path, not different suppliers. Following them all means that decisions made at the first site visit arrive intact at site, with no handovers where anything gets lost.
Where I work
Gallipoli and the surrounding municipalities (Alezio, Sannicola, Taviano, Racale, Matino, Casarano, Nardò, Galatone) and more generally the province of Lecce. For interventions in the rest of Salento I evaluate case by case based on the frequency of the site visits that the site requires.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes: a new construction project requires a qualified technician to sign it and follow the process. In addition to the obligation, it is the phase in which orientation, distribution and relationship with the terrain are decided, choices which can then no longer be corrected without redoing.
It depends above all on the building permit required. The design part generally requires a few weeks between measured survey, proposals and final choice; the times of the authorization process vary with the type of intervention and with the municipality of reference.
Certain. The project and the execution are two distinct things: you can contact the company you prefer, even one with which you have already worked. My role remains to ensure that what is built matches what was designed and authorized.
