“God is in the details” is his mantra. Born in ’95, from Puglia, after graduating from art high school he obtained a First-Level Degree in Design from RUFA – Rome University of Fine Arts. Passionate about photography, graphic design and multimedia art, he considers himself a multidisciplinary and eclectic personality.
“I have always had a broad focus and an approach to understanding the world that passes through different disciplines and interests. I draw inspiration from everything and my work is always influenced by music, science, nature, traditions, by something […] I look for interference everywhere and my greatest goal remains to give an emotional value to every project I create. Without ever neglecting the aesthetic and functional factor.”
In 2020 he enrolled in the Second-Level programme in Multimedia Arts & Design – coordinated by professor and art historian Caterina Tomeo – at RUFA, thus continuing his research towards the “sublime”.
BAHJA – Seafood & Beach Club
The project celebrating the cult of the sea stems from the desire to redevelop and enhance a stretch of the Puglia coastline south of Bari.
The renovation focused in particular on the building – and its adjoining surrounding area – of the former Lido della Polizia di Stato, which remained abandoned after forty years of activity. The beach resort covers a total area of 3.470sqm, of which 424 are occupied by the architectural volume.
Inspired by Mediterranean tradition and by the different cultures that have inhabited the area over time, Bahja is a Beach Club characterised by natural tones, warm and enveloping textures and sustainable materials, all surrounded by an unspoilt blue sea and tropical plants, blending into a sophisticated and refined style that perfectly embraces the local archetype.
Aspiring to be an oasis in the desert, the project develops a respectful and minimalist approach, conceptualising a logic that concerns and preserves the surrounding nature and local traditions, drawing strength from the separation between the natural and rugged context of the cliff and the systematic independence of the architectural structure, thus creating a design experience that celebrates the cult of the beach.
