DEMO architects is a studio founded between Rome and Amsterdam in 2008. The team is made up of professional architects, urban designers, technologists, historians and landscape architects. Our extend portfolio includes different projects from social and economic investigations to architecture and design ventures, thanks to the expertise of our team.
Each member of the team brings to the table new skills and knowledge to tackle specific concerns and adapt our designs to the ever-changing world, providing a contextual sensibility and flexibility together with a valuable attention to renewable energies. At present the office is working on the building design of a co-operative social housing in Milan comprised in the masterplan of the new area "Cascina Merlata" designed by the office Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners. Recently DEMO architects has collaborated to the interior renovation project for the new Chilean Embassy in Rome and has curated the content and designed the interiors of two photography exhibitions (Bas Princen at the Acquario Romano, Order of Architects of Rome / Roel Backaert in the new gallery space of ANCE, National Building Developpers Association).
DEMO architects focuses on the use of space (inhabitant) and do not believe in any constrains or limitations in architecture. Due to this reason, our designs been received a great deal of attention from several international publications in the past years, some examples are A10, a+t (HybridsIII), The Plan, L’Industria delle Costruzioni, 010 Uitgevers, case editrici Umberto Allemandi & C., Prospettive Edizioni.
