After graduating, Daniele Lauria contributed between 1996 and 1998 to major building projects and urban regeneration plans for the Tuscan capital, collaborating with the renowned urbanist Leonardo Benevolo and engaging with the lessons of Renzo Piano and the crucial question of transforming existing buildings. During this period, the regeneration plan for Le Murate became a cultural reference point: regeneration does not mean erasing, but restoring life, contemporary use and meaning to complex heritage.
This lesson became a source of inspiration from the earliest competitions and was gradually absorbed into a method that has enabled us to transform spaces into relationships, respect the memory of places and design bespoke architecture in more than fifteen countries around the world.
After those formative years, the practice was founded in 1999 with the design of an exhibition pavilion in Piazza della Signoria, followed by its first restoration commissions and projects for homes, offices and public spaces. The approach has remained consistent ever since: work as a network, integrate architecture and engineering, and address every commission with bespoke care and strong problem-solving skills.
Aware of the challenges of globalisation, we draw on Italian creativity to develop projects that respect and enhance local identities and cultures.
