ABOUT US

Our story

The heart of RR Architetti beats through the combined experience of Riccardo Ricotta and Maddalena Santandrea.

​

RICCARDO RICOTTA

Active since 2006, Riccardo consolidated his design vision while studying in Sweden and Norway. He brought back a distinct Scandinavian approach: clean aesthetics, a profound respect for natural light, and a deep harmony between humanity and nature.

​

MADDALENA SANTANDREA

An architect since 2020, Maddalena trained in France, bringing to the studio an extraordinary level of sensitivity and meticulous attention to spatial composition and the surrounding context.

Beyond the Drawing Board: The Construction Site in our DNA

What sets us apart is our tactile understanding of architecture. We are not just desk-bound designers: we have both spent significant time on construction sites. We understand materials, construction techniques, and mechanical systems because we know how to build them. This technical expertise allows us to engage with contractors with authority, ensuring our clients receive solutions that are not only beautiful on paper but technically impeccable and built to last.

​

Our Philosophy: Nature and Wellbeing

We live immersed in nature and share a deep love for the outdoors and animals. This lifestyle reflects in our work: we believe architecture should be a tool for physical and mental wellbeing. We design spaces that are healthy, sustainable, and in symbiosis with their surroundings. "Professional integrity is our foundation; the quality of our clients' lives is our ultimate goal."

​

A Growing Global Team

While our operational heart is in Piedmont, our mindset speaks many languages. Our studio is a melting pot of talent from around the world, enriched by international experiences that allow us to tackle complex challenges with a multicultural perspective. Today, we proudly work throughout the region, but our growth is expanding our reach across Italy and abroad. We are ready to bring our vision of conscious, concrete architecture wherever there is a pursuit of wellbeing.
