Practice Ideology
Studio Bressan, based in Montebelluna in the province of Treviso, has been actively operating for over thirty years. It is now in its second generation and managed by architects Andrea and Emanuele Bressan.
Characteristics that distinguish the studio’s modus operandi are the attention to the context, the enhancement of the structural aspects of the building, the correct combination of materials, the sustainable approach to the project, both from an environmental and an economic point of view, the constant dialogue and profitable with the customer, energy saving, cost and time control of the intervention, study and attention to detail in the design. The goal is to combine innovation and research with professional skills, capable of responding to the complexity of customer requests at various scales of intervention, making use of thirty years of experience, and turning, when necessary, into a consolidated network of consultants and specialists.
The studio has designed and built residential projects, offices and commercial buildings, public spaces, industrial areas, accommodations and multi-purpose facilities. It also deals with the renovation of historic buildings, extensions, and building conversion. They have participated in numerous national and international competitions and are active in the field of interior design and urban furniture and have obtained important publications and awards at national and international levels. Over the years they have implemented the design, management, and control skills of the building product as a collaborative team on major works.
Each new project is considered a unique challenge that must find its character through an intense discussion with the client and a profound perception of the spaces.
The design process takes shape from the direct discussion with the client through elaborations and re-elaborations of the initial idea, giving life to the definitive construction and, project after project, to continuous research: incessant experimentation that assumes full responsibility for the metamorphosis of the matter.
