Studio Marco Mantovano is a design office founded in Lecce in 2013.

The studio deals with design and research through the use of a multidisciplinary approach: this includes architecture, interior design (restaurants, hotels, private commissions), product design and property finding.

Our home is Salento, our experience international.

SALENTO / A region of incredible natural beauty and resources, where cultural identity and architecture are deeply rooted in the landscape and life flows authentically between the interior and exterior spaces of its charming dwellings.

An incredible passion for the landscape and its context combines with a continuous search for skills, hands and materials that protect and enhance them.

We believe in the power of places, we create unique architectural experiences, inspired by tradition, enriched by materiality and influenced by contemporaneity.

Each project is part of a deep process of respect for the place, its history and its regeneration.

.

METHODOLOGY / We consider constraints as opportunities. Constraints such as budgets, timeframes, codes, policies and site conditions are opportunities that can catalyse the most innovative solutions.

We design partnerships rather than impose solutions. With our clients, we identify the key issues to be addressed and establish shared positions from which to collectively evaluate architectural proposals.

The firm is currently working on projects ranging from private homes to holiday homes, restaurants and boutique hotels.
