Transforming Ideas Into Extraordinary Spaces

Balestri Architects seeks an honest and modern architecture derived directly from its program, context, and materials. In lieu of subscribing to fleeting style or fashion, the firm aspires to deliver thoughtful and original design solutions that express a powerful sense of humanism through a rational approach to construction. Proportion, scale, materiality and light are universal components of design, and their successful synthesis is achieved through an intensive collaboration with clients and consultants.

Each project starts with a deep understanding of our client’s needs to motivate and guide the design’s physical and emotional expression. We believe that the value of good design is not dependent on the scale, cost, or complexity of the project, but in its adherence to a strong set of meaningful concepts. Good design is also accountable to its community and the environment, and we work to incorporate the latest building practices and technology to fulfill these responsibilities.
