Residential
The design of apartment buildings or single houses, multi-storey living or a humble shed, they all need a good understanding of the human psychology, dreams and aspirations. Luigi Rosselli Architects has acquired a reputation for building residences that fulfil these aspirations.
The councils and authorities often tend to frustrate the developers and home builders, Luigi Rosselli Architects has developed over 30 years relationships and mutual respect with councils, acquiring many “good design” awards and recognition, being invited to advise councils on planning and residential matters.
The measure of a successful residential development should not be linked to the reflection on its real estate price (real estate agencies use the Luigi Rosselli name in their advertising as a major selling point), but to the way the community has received the finished project and the longevity of the building and the design. The following residential projects should bear witness to the above.
