Chiara Benedetti and Sara Maltese founded their architecture studio maltesebenedetti, in 2006 with its main office in Genoa, Italy.
Having started its activity in the realm of interior design, scenography and museography, their work has been carried out on various scales from that of design to urban, mainly concentrating on the interaction and projection of natural and artificial light in relation to volume and space.
Since 2010, they have also been focusing on research pertaining to bio-building as well as renewable energy sources that contribute to making the most out of the art of living autonomously. This has lead to new collaboration with contemporary companies
specialized in this arena.
They have also continued collaborating with the
School of Architecture at the University of Genoa in Italy.
