About us
A driving force of our epoch is the ever-more integrated culture we share, one in which wisdom and beauty once isolated becomes accessible to the world.
As the power of communication expands, opportunity is unleashed. Cultural cross-pollination deepens what is possible.
BATTISTA is an architectural and design firm where the sharpest minds from around the world collaborate—in a way not practical before—with local professionals to create pragmatic buildings of profound beauty.
A New Way of Working
Our business model would not have been possible even a few years ago. Thanks to technological advances in several areas, including advanced Internet communications and design-rendering tools, BATTISTA has created a production team not limited by national or local borders.
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) field is a multidisciplinary approach to creating successful real estate developments. It can handle undertakings spanning renovations of historic structures, retrofits of existing buildings, and new construction projects.
BATTISTA has used its founders’ connections in the architecture field to build an AEC team that can collaborate on a global scale. Not limited to recruiting talent that happens to live in a single geographical area, BATTISTA has created a new model for architectural design firms minimum overhead costs. We can plug in the best professionals from anywhere in the world to solve specific challenges.
As a client, this means you get a bespoke product while paying a price premised on an economically efficient model. You pay for a Ford but get a Ferrari.
Why architecture is important:
Architecture is more than just host to our everyday life—it’s also built culture, a representation of how we see ourselves and what we honor.
Any building we live in—or spend a great deal of time in—has a great impact on who we become. How we live, how we socialize, how we synthesize with society and the environment. Architecture is not merely a place to be, but rather a way to be.
The Work We Do
Our work revolves around understanding a client’s vision, recognizing the challenges to attaining it, and providing the solutions necessary to realistically achieve it.
Today is a great time to be an architect—though it has its challenges. The architecture, engineering, and construction industry (AEC) is becoming more sophisticated by the day. The web of aesthetic, technical, legal, financial, and environmental criteria that must be balanced—while always endeavoring to build a harmonious architectural masterwork—is profound.
In such a challenging environment, any elegant solution requires the expertise of the collective—a team of multidisciplinary professionals—who understand how to collaborate and address challenges from differing angles.
BATTISTA has a great network of talent, global in scale. We have worked with the finest professionals in their disciplines—in every corner of the globe, including Australia, Europe, Asia, and United States—over many years. We can bring them together to collaborate virtually on a project whose place in the world can be anywhere. Thanks to the power of modern communication, we can do this in a way not practical before—and at a competitive price.

Corporate Responsibility
As commercial and home architects and architectural designers, the team members of Battista have studied—and in some cases even worked on—some of humanity’s finest architectural inheritances. And sadly, many of these examples of our collective legacy are at risk—especially those now at sea level. As an architectural firm deeply rooted in Italy, our precious Venice is an illustration of this reality that is hard to ignore.
This is why Battista fully embraces the concept of corporate responsibility, especially when it comes to environmental matters. We incorporate sustainability into our architectural designs in different scales. The fact is, architectural design has a powerful role to play in reducing the release of greenhouse gasses and better utilizing our shared natural resources.
The adage “think globally, act locally” is very much a truism we embrace when calculating our design choices at Battista.
History
Based in the United States, BATTISTA has its roots in Italy, where our key players met in Lake Como in 2007. Since then, we have traveled and worked together on mix-used and residential projects around the globe. Much of our professional work has actually carefully trod on the remnants of the great Mediterranean cultural enterprise when as we’ve designed renovation projects that have both preserved—and modernized—historical buildings in northern Italy.
Today, modernity in general—and the Internet specifically—have brought the kind of vitality that radiated around the Mediterranean millennia ago to the entire globe. BATTISTA springs from the rich cultural legacy of its core members—who count Milan, Paris, and Isfahan as their homelands—while embracing the possibilities of the twenty-first century.
