QA Studio, architecture between memory and transformation.

Selected work
Studio

We build forward from what is already there.

QA is an Italian architecture and interiors practice working across residential, hospitality, retail, and workplace, for clients who want a project rooted in place, culture, and context.

Every project is a translation between what is already there and what the client needs it to become. We read the source first: its history, its materials, its place. A fresco found during construction, a Langhe vineyard's vernacular, the imprint of an existing tenancy. Each is where that translation begins, guided by the character of the place.

Casa Giuria, interior detail

"They understood the idea I had of home, perhaps before I could explain it myself."

«Hanno capito subito che idea avevo di casa, forse ancora prima che riuscissi a spiegargliela davvero.»

Method

Read first, then translate.

Across cultures

The translation runs both ways: Italian craft carried into briefs abroad, and briefs from abroad shaped by Italian methods.

Across times

Heritage carried into contemporary life: preserved where it must be, made legible where it must change.

Across materials

Graniglia, marble, micro-mortar, oak: chosen for the place, left honest about what they are, never for the trend.

From our clients

What it's like to work with QA.

"Every proposal was right, sensitive, never obvious. They transformed the house into something I feel is deeply mine."
