Cappelletti Sestito Studio are an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. They were very creative, communicative and knowledgeable in helping us with an interior project in our new U.S. home. I’d highly recommend them to anyone who has an upcoming project!

The context in which we operate influences our approach to the project in a decisive way. To produce appropriate design proposals, we believe it essential to take into account the urban fabric and the morphological properties of the landscape. By drawing on architectural models of the past, understood as typological references for formal and composition purposes, we identify a theme connecting the context to our design proposal. The basic idea behind each of our works always stems from the interpretation of a way of living and experiencing space in a given context, both physically and trough social interaction.
