Easily acknowledged as one of the top architecture firms in the world, Studio Fuksas has curated products and projects ranging from the miniscule to the colossal, and continues to do so

Iconic

Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas of Studio Fuksas have a steady equation in place. While Massimiliano takes charge of the architectural projects, Doriana heads Fuksas Design, the department of design, and interior projects. The process they follow is predominantly the same for every project. Doriana says, “When we create an object, the first step is the sketch. But the most important time to define the characteristics and feasibility is during the construction of models. Consistency between a handle and an opening, or in the internal organisation of an office space that needs tables and chairs, becomes a form of mysterious attraction that leads the architect to take care of the small details.”

THE STUDIO

The 16,000 sqft studio in Rome is an intriguing juxtaposition of the old and new and houses about 80 people. “Our studio in Rome is in a Renaissance building, the present configuration of which dates back to the second half of the 19th century. It has been in a state of continuous development which started over 30 years ago, an ‘in-progress’ restoration, in the sense that the studio layout took shape as we acquired additional spaces of the building that became available over time. The spaces are distributed in four levels that host offices, design rooms, model making room and more, linked by a vaulted staircase,” explains Doriana. In addition, the company has close to 60 more staff members working in their offices in Paris and Shenzhen.
