Didonè Comacchio Architects: Interview with the Italian Studio

Didonè Comacchio Architects, founded by Paolo Didonè and Devvy Comacchio, are an Italian architecture studio based in the Veneto region, operating at various scales including residential, sports, school, and industrial projects. The studio, which includes architects Gianmarco Miolo, Denis Stoppiglia, Lorenzo Fravezzi, and Gianluca Perin, has completed over a dozen residential projects and has about 25 ongoing. They recently won two competitions now under construction: the Nuova Palazzetto dello sport in Nembro (BG) and a new secondary school in Zibido San Giacomo (MI), both designed with high efficiency and eco-sustainability standards. The studio also collaborates with brands like Lapitec for product design, exemplified by the Torrone table featuring a sintered stone top. Their work shows influences from minimalists such as John Pawson, Marcio Kogan, Vincent Van Duysen, and others. They aim to open an office abroad in New York or Singapore within the next ten years, maintaining a small, family-like team to preserve authorial quality.
