Philosophy

An architecture firm dedicated to creating projects conceived as a scenery for everyday human existence and thoughts.

Ellisse Srl operates in the field of architecture, ranging from architectural design to urban planning, and in the fields of industrial and interior design.

The planning method is based upon an iterative process entailing systematic analysis of the various aspects of designing, which are simultaneous and mutually complementary, such as integration of the project peculiarities, requirements of the client and a thorough analysis of the context where the building will rise.

A crucial aspect is the close collaboration with clients, which is expressed through active dialogue, implying continuous idea-exchange with clients, in order to better understand their needs and ideas, which are then translated into space, colour and shape. It is according to these elements that the most suitable lines and materials are selected, in order to create buildings which are harmoniously integrated into the environment.

The design phase is organized in such a way as to optimize the subsequent construction stage, with the help of the most advanced information technologies in the fields of three-dimensional modeling and representation.

In July 2007 the studio obtained the Quality Management System Certificate by the Certification Authority Cermet, according to ISO 9001: 2000, for the following services: "architectural and civil works design, urban planning in the public and private sectors and the related technical consultancy".
