STUDIO

People

We are a small, design-led studio based in Naples and London.

Rather than being tied to a rigid office structure, we remain flexible, lightweight, and mobile. Whether in Italy or the UK, we collaborate with an extensive network of architects, engineers, and makers to deliver projects of all scales.

Johnny Cullinan has been practising as an architect for eight years and as a designer–maker for over three decades. His experience includes working with muf architecture/art LLP in London and RUF in Hong Kong, as well as teaching as an Associate Lecturer at the University of the Arts London. 

Process

Each project and client is unique, and we believe in tailoring our process to meet those specific needs.

Rather than following a particular style or design methodology, we work closely with clients, users, and the context of place to fully understand every requirement. Through consultation, visualisation, and interpretation, we bring our clients along on the design journey, ensuring collaboration and clarity at every stage.

At the same time there are some constants we always strive to achieve in any design or creation of place:

  • Comfort – designing with light, proportion, and atmosphere to create pleasant and welcoming spaces.

  • Sociability – harnessing the power of place to encourage interaction and community.

  • Efficiency – adopting a resourceful approach to the use of energy, materials, and money.

  • Longevity – ensuring durability, adaptability, and resilience over time.

  • Preservation – respecting and protecting the value inherent in nature and heritage.

  • Agency – empowering users to shape their environment, giving identity and richness to a place.

  • Context – responding to, learning from, and giving back to the surrounding environment.
