Founded in Rotterdam, the studio has been active since 1993 at an international level in every architectural and urban planning sector, with a mission oriented towards participatory planning, which involves clients, stakeholders and professionals who interact from the earliest stages of the creative process.
The goal is a choral reflection on the use of marble in design, as well as understanding how innovative ways can be used to contribute to widespread application, also in relation to a sustainable use of natural resources. The meaning of the word "marble" which derives from the Greek marmaros and literally means "shining stone" already contains in a nutshell the great potential of this material used since ancient times.
