Atelier Pagnamenta Torriani is an architectural design studio established in 1992 by Anna Torriani and Lorenzo Pagnamenta.“From a stylistic point of view, their work is extremely refined, based on ideas about strong content, and the purity of their architectural forms implies restraint and respect for essential values”, Controspazio, by C. Finucci, 1998.Atelier’s office is like a laboratory where architecture, art, new technology, materials and ideas are researched, experimented and implemented.Special consideration is given to sustainable materials and passive technologies.We give much importance to the social aspect of a project because we strongly believe in the benefits of an inspired environment that provides residents with both a sense of pride and a pleasant space to inhabit.Atelier interprets the history, culture and typology; studies the context, the local materials and construction methods for each project to establish a true connection to each site and its surroundings.Atelier often participates in competitions to nurture the creativity of the team and to enhance the theoretical research.
