Architectural design

Architectural Design represents the historical core and guiding discipline of Studio Protasi.

Through a professional journey of nearly three decades in the field — established in 1999 — Eng. Luca Protasi oversees the entire design process, seamlessly integrating aesthetic and functional research with technical, structural, and regulatory precision.

Our scope of work covers the complete project lifecycle:

• New Construction Projects: Comprehensive design of new buildings across various intended uses (residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial), with a strong emphasis on sustainable architecture, energy efficiency, and advanced construction technologies.
• Building Renovation, Restoration, and Major Maintenance: Targeted interventions on existing structures — ranging from conservative restoration to the complete adaptive reuse of historic complexes (including former industrial buildings and agricultural tobacco warehouses) — aimed at enhancing real estate value and upgrading thermal and acoustic performance.
• Building Permits and Landscape Approvals: Full management of administrative and technical procedures. Leveraging deep knowledge of local zoning regulations and environmental constraints, the Studio handles building permit applications (CILA, SCIA, Building Permits) and complex Landscape Reports, ensuring smooth and rigorous coordination with local authorities and Preservation Bodies (Soprintendenza).

Operating Methodology

A central element of Studio Protasi is its multidisciplinary approach: the direction of each architectural project benefits from the synergistic collaboration of an established network of specialists. This guarantees clients a single responsible point of contact and complete oversight of project timelines, budgets, and regulatory compliance.

Core Design Pillars:

• Energy Efficiency & Sustainability: Low-environmental-impact solutions focused on reducing energy consumption and achieving superior indoor living comfort.
• Landscape Preservation & Quality Materials: Meticulous integration of buildings within their natural context and rigorous selection of materials, respecting local architectural heritage and regional traditions.
