Italian architect Andrea Vergati belongs to a generation of professionals who have shaped their vision through travel, cultural exchange and the exploration of different ways of inhabiting space. His trajectory combines architectural practice, sensitivity to place and a constant search for balance between tradition and contemporaneity.
Initially trained at the Politecnico di Milano, where he obtained his degree in Architectural Sciences in 2013, he later continued his studies in Lisbon, graduating in Architecture from the Universidade Autónoma in 2016. Years later, he expanded his academic path with a Master’s degree in Bioconstruction Project Management at Universidad Nebrija, deepening his knowledge of sustainable building strategies and the conscious use of materials.
From the beginning of his career, Vergati has understood architecture as an open and transversal discipline. His professional experience has developed across different cultural contexts —Italy, Portugal, Mexico, Peru, Greece, Sweden and England— an itinerant path that has enriched his way of interpreting space and landscape.
This diversity of experiences is now reflected in his work: an architecture that carefully observes the conditions of place, local building traditions and the relationship between people and their environment. For Vergati, designing means listening to the territory and reinterpreting it through a contemporary perspective capable of generating harmonious, serene and deeply inhabitable spaces.
In 2020 he founded his architecture studio, Vergati Creative Studio, in the heart of the Italian region of Apulia, with the intention of offering a personal and critical interpretation of the built environment.
The studio develops projects that span architecture, interior design, rehabilitation and proposals connected to sustainability and the social dimension of architecture. Its philosophy stems from a simple idea: using creativity as a tool to improve people’s lives and to strengthen the relationship between human beings, nature and the cultural memory of places.
In this sense, the studio’s work is characterised by a careful reading of Mediterranean vernacular architectures, reinterpreted through a contemporary language of soft forms, honest materials and spaces open to light and landscape. Each project is conceived as a process of transformation in which the conventional is critically reconsidered, always seeking a balanced response between functionality, beauty and emotion.
With roots deeply connected to the territory of Apulia and an international experience nourished by different cultures, Vergati Creative Studio currently develops residential projects, rehabilitations and experimental proposals that explore new ways of inhabiting the Mediterranean landscape.
