[L-R] Maurizio Mosca and Roberta Di Nucci

Maurizio Mosca (1968) and Roberta Di Nucci (1972)

Philosophy

We believe in beauty created in a practical, efficient and analytical design approach exploring the myriad connections between landscape, architectural, design.

The starting point of the work by the office is in thorough understanding of the way to improve the environment by means of the best design solution.

One of our particular concerns is analysing the different degrees of interaction between man and his environment, natural and urban landscape, the city and the single building, to achieve finally the creative interpretation through formal, technological, sensory research.

The idea suggested by the emotion is sharpened by a gradual iter of definition developing the different multidisciplinary aspects that confer it the pursued concrete image.

The two partners at MODIStudio have been involved in numerous built and unbuilt projects as project leaders, project architects and project team members in major Italian and foreign architecture offices.

MODIStudio has won several prizes and mentions in architecture competitions worldwide. The office co-operates with other disciplines to reach the best solution for every detail.

Our workforce is composed of a team of young and keen architects, and of several experts in different disciplines.

We have developed a scheme of work based on a young open team, according to a model promoting relationship with other architectural practices, aiming to the creation of a string of professionals in all the world
