Near architecture is a design practice, founded in 2011 by Cristiano Lippa, Fabiano Micocci and Lorenzo Scarpetti. The diverse experience of each member, working in different parts of the world, has lead to an original organization of work, connecting ideas and contributions as a network. Near architecture strives for a renewed geographical and topographical approach to the project. The practice firmly believes that earth is a main source of inspiration for a sustainable design, able to define space, form and materials. Near architecture engages different typologies and scales, including landscape, public spaces, buildings and interior design. Each project starts with a careful analysis of local characteristics guided by a strong understanding of clients’ requests. The practice is structured to provide clear design direction and follow the realization at every stage of a project.
