Meet the founder
Lucia Piccinini
As an architect, I support and guide private clients, property developers, and commercial partners in realizing their visions and fulfilling their needs.
My skills and expertise are based on principles of modern architecture. Where sustainability, innovation, and the environmental consciousness philosophy are at the forefront of design.
My philosophy is one of giving new life to existing, unused buildings. Illustrated through clever repurposing, aligning them with the evolving needs of society.

Lucia has done a planning permission for us to add a roof terrace
and loft extension.
I found her very professional and she kept us informed about the process and risks and kept us up to date throughout the project.
She was excellent and will hopefully work with Lucia again in the future”

*Google review*
Lucia assisted with a project doing a loft conversion and rear extension. Lucia
was extremely helpful producing architectural drawings at short notice. She also introduced a structural engineer who produced structural connection drawings at short notice as well as providing very important structural advice. Lucia conducted site visits and raised matters such as making sure the insulation used by the builder was of the correct specification, which was very helpful. By producing drawings at short notice she helped avoid delays and by doing site visits she helped make sure the builder was using the right quality products. She is also honest and her drawings were completed to a high standard.”
