Draisci Studio

Established by Francesco Draisci (DipArch, ARB,RIBA), after years of working experience with Richard Rogers Partnership and Ron Arad among others, the multi-disciplinary practice offers a platform that blurs the boundaries between the practical and the poetic. In 2005 the practice was winner of the 40 under 40 AJ/CORUS competition (selecting the most interesting architects in the UK) and, more recently, winner of the Design of the Year Award by The Designer Magazine and finalist in the Wood Awards.

The studio work has been exhibited at the V&A, the London Design Museum and the Venice Architectural Biennale.
