Arturo Moreno
Architecture as the union between the inside and the outside becomes the spatial record of this resolution and its drama. And by recognizing the difference between the inside and the outside, architecture opens the door once again to an urbanistic point of view.
Arturo is a Spanish architect and interior designer that came to Asia charmed by the great tropical modernist masters of the 20th century and the new architectural and interior style that flourished in South East Asia. He graduated with his master’s in architecture at the University of Navarra and completed an exclusive master’s in design, imparted by the Pritzker price award-winning architect, Rafael Moneo.
During his time at MIA Design Studio and DesignLab, he had the chance to collaborate and learn from the best practices in Vietnam. After working with a multitude of clients, operators and consultants, he decided to bring his ideas and inspiration to the table and co-founded StudioDuo.
