Have we ever wondered if our homes truly reflect the way we live?
This thesis begins by exploring the dichotomy between individualistic and collaborative housing, focusing on the latter. The analysis highlights how housing configurations have evolved over time, increasingly favoring ‘individualistic’ models characterized by spaces designed exclusively for the nuclear family. However, through various examination, it is evident that collaborative housing can offer more effective solutions for the diverse living practices that define contemporary society. Whether driven by ideological choices, economic necessities, or other situational factors, these housing models provide inclusive solutions for multiple individuals simultaneously, through a thoughtful balance of private, shared, and collective spaces.
An emerging trend within this framework is Intergenerational housing, where individuals of varying ages share living spaces. This approach not only mitigates social isolation but also challenges the individualistic tendencies of modern society by fostering values of respect and collaboration, creating lasting bonds among residents. In this context, San Donato Milanese and its Palazzo Terzo by Franco Albini, stands out as an ideal location for such a project. The city’s strong appeal, supportive local policies, and growing housing demand make it a perfect setting for experimenting with innovative solutions.
The thesis proposes a rethinking of the concept of living, aiming to design an intergenerational housing project that is accessible, flexible, and inclusive, adaptable to shifting demographic needs and enriching the housing fabric. By moving beyond traditional models, it seeks to empower individuals to choose living arrangements that best align with their lifestyles and specific needs, ensuring privacy while fostering social interactions.
The programs used for this project were: Autocad, Revit, Photoshop, Indesign & Cura (for 3d printing).

Research center for Mycelium in an imaginary forest.
The Myco-lab is an innovative research center nestled within an imaginary forest, dedicated to exploring the potential of mycelium. Encased in a distinctive greedshell structure, it serves as a hub for experimentation and the dissemination of discoveries related to mycelium.
The building’s is characterized by a steel framework entirely enveloped in mycelium (inside). This unique choice of covering not only enhances the structure’s acoustic properties, but also contributes to its aesthetic appeal.
Inside, mycelium is ingeniously utilized throughout, akin to a pervasive weed grass, adorning every corner from the toilette to the theater. Here, the material is leveraged for its remarkable comfort properties.
Towards the conclusion of the structure lies an area delineated by pillars, some of which serve as load-bearing elements. Each pillar is sheathed in mycelium, facilitating the creation of partitions and demarcating the boundary between the research laboratory and the remainder of the center.
Throughout the project, extensive experimentation is conducted within the laboratory to further understand and harness the properties of mycelium, yielding valuable insights, and samples.
The programs used for this project were: Autocad, Rhino, Miro, Cura (for 3d printing), Midjourney, Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign.

Located in Via Don Minzoni, Bologna, Italy. The project aims to create a building complex that provides various levels of privacy to its inhabitants, catering to individual needs while promoting interaction within a community setting. This is achieved through three main types of units.
FORTREES: This represents the highest level of privacy, with each unit functioning as an independent apartment equipped with private amenities. However, these units are still integrated into communal spaces, encouraging interaction among residents. The size of the apartments and the design encourage inhabitants to utilize shared spaces.
FENCE: These units offer a balance between privacy and community. They have a private space with a secondary sleeping area, and the bathroom shared between two units. Flexible partitions allow for the extension of the living space into communal areas when desired.
TRACE: This type blurs the boundary between private and communal spaces entirely. Reserved for artists in residency, these units serve as multifunctional spaces for living, working, and socializing. The residents lead an eclectic lifestyle, fostering flexibility in sharing and interaction.
Rather than categorizing residents based on traditional social classifications, the project focuses on their desired level of privacy and their willingness to engage with the community. This approach aims to create a diverse and vibrant community in Bologna, where individuals from different backgrounds can coexist harmoniously, minimizing stigma and conflict.
The programs used for this project were: Autocad, Rhino, Enscape, Miro, Cura (for 3d printing), Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign.

Exbition located in Via Biondelli 5, Abbiategrasso, Milan, Italy.
As part of our interior design studio course, we were tasked with conceptualizing a disco club within a tight three-day timeframe, drawing inspiration from the case studies explored throughout the course. Each group was assigned a specific aspect of the club to develop, and our group was tasked with designing the “Entrance”.
The location was an ex-industrial building, owned by Xilografia, the design company that financed us, and the project aimed to interpret the archetype of the threshold.
Our approach revolved around crafting an experiential journey from the entrance gate to the disco club’s foyer, fostering a social moment for arriving guests characterized by a sense of anticipation and transition. To seamlessly connect these two thresholds, we utilized a mirrored sheet composed of twelve Mylar modules, which reflected the LED text “DISCO 22” onto the ground, effectively guiding guests along the pathway.
The ultimate goal was to generate a deeply immersive space for those entering the disco club, creating a disorientation effect achieved through a progressively sharper visual effect.
The programs used for this project were: Autocad, Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign. In this case, manual work was required to assemble the structure.

Hostel located in Via Cocchiarella, Milan, Italy.
The studio’s project culminated in the creation of a hostel situated in the heart of Milan, adjacent to the Navigli, within a challenging urban environment characterized by dense buildings. This hostel was envisioned to cater to the vast demographic of travelers drawn to Milan, with the primary objective of revitalizing a residential area that lacked significant activity.
From its inception, the project encompassed both architectural and interior design considerations, deeply rooted in the rich history of Milan. The hostel derived its name from the distinctive two courtyards, emblematic of Milanese architectural tradition. The expansive lodge, occupying the first floor, evoked the essence of post-war Milanese housing, featuring external room access. Additionally, meticulous attention was given to the selection of materials, favoring locally sourced elements such as Ceppo di Grè for the ground floor and green tiles adorning the upper lodge.
The interior spaces were meticulously crafted to offer optimal comfort to budgetconscious travelers without compromising on aesthetic appeal. The ground floor was conceived as a vibrant communal area, with a bar/restaurant located on the northern side and various activity spaces within the courtyards. Meanwhile, the southern portion of the ground floor was dedicated to travelers, housing a welcoming lobby, and relaxation area. On the upper floors, the focus shifted to accommodation, with rooms and communal areas thoughtfully arranged to maximize functionality, and comfort.
The programs used for this project were: Autocad, Revit, Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign.

Project Responsable: Marta Mattioli
This project was developed in Novara within a newly constructed building, where our studio was tasked with designing the interior spaces. From the outset, I independently managed all aspects of the project. My responsibilities included coordinating with the construction chief to finalize the layout of the interior walls and making strategic decisions regarding furniture placement and materials.
The clients were thoroughly impressed by the initial concept, particularly its ability to seamlessly merge modern aesthetics with subtle classical touches, as they had envisioned. They expressed deep satisfaction not only with the design but also with the attention to detail in the selection of materials, such as the natural parquet flooring and metallic accents. This combination brought a unique warmth and contemporary elegance to the space. Their positive feedback reinforced the creative direction and ensured a smooth realization of the project, ultimately exceeding their expectations
