ARCHITECTURE
THAT STAYS

We restore, rebuild and design homes, hotels and city buildings in places that already have a story — adding only what the place needs.

Quiet architecture for places with a story.

Studio Velaro is a team of fourteen architects and interior designers founded by Laura Velari and Marco Rostagno. We keep the facade, the height and the scale of the street — and change everything inside.
From site study and permits to construction supervision and interiors, one team carries the project to the keys. Every building is designed to be lived in for the next hundred years.
