In the work of AND Studio Architects, texture and pattern are not merely decorative elements, but rather design tools capable of shaping identity, light, materiality, and the relationship with the surrounding context. Each surface is conceived as an architectural device capable of transforming the perception of space and defining the character of the building through the interplay of solids and voids, transparency, shadows, and depth. In the design of the bank in Bientina, th

La Réserve is a project conceived as an authentic expression of the Marrakech lifestyle, a place where the spirit of the city is reflected in every design choice, from the composition of the spaces to the selection of materials. The colors recall the iconic shades of the city—jade and ocher—evoking the lush gardens and extraordinary architecture that characterize the Moroccan urban landscape. The entire complex is designed as a harmonious system, capable of translating the pr

Some days start off in an unpredictable way, while others—like today—unfold in the best possible way. Today we were invited by Hub161 in Milan, at Corso Venezia 8, where we spent an afternoon exploring the relationship between design and architecture. First and foremost, we would like to thank Raffaella Verri Zorzi, who successfully organized an event in a truly charming venue, creating the perfect setting for an open dialogue between different disciplines. The event brought

Above the Comptoir des Mines art gallery, in the vibrant heart of Marrakech, a terrace takes shape that is not just an outdoor space, but a true statement of style. A place suspended between the sky and the city, designed as a setting for meeting, contemplation, and the art of living well. The interior design project was conceived as a tribute to the Italian dolce vita , evoking the luminous and carefree elegance that marked the glamour of the 1960s, reinterpreted today wit

The renovation of the former Crastan building represents an urban transformation project capable of restoring centrality and a new identity to a historic site, reinterpreting it as a contemporary multifunctional hub. After an initial phase of selective demolition, the project focuses on repurposing the existing building, articulating different functions within a unified and recognizable structure. The new layout includes a commercial space on the ground floor for a medium-siz

The restoration project involves an old hunting lodge, a building characterized by a traditional structure spread over several floors. The aim of the project was to preserve the historical identity of the building, maintaining its original style and architectural features, while adapting it to new functional requirements. The restoration project mainly concerns two apartments, one overlooking the villa and the other overlooking the lake. The project follows an approach that c

There is a moment in the day in Morocco when the slanting light caresses architectural surfaces like a thin veil. It is then that Villa Benchakroun reveals its most authentic character: a measured balance between material strength and lightness, between rigorous geometries and soft lines. Designed by AND Studio Architects , the villa is the result of a profound dialogue with the Mediterranean landscape and local building traditions, reinterpreted through a radically contempor

There are places that are just waiting to be heard. Palazzo San Jacopo, in the heart of Lucca's historic center, was one of them: an ancient building overlooking Via del Fosso, which for years had stopped telling its story, left in a silence made up of abandonment and suspended promises. Today, however, that silence has turned into an opportunity: a great opportunity for urban regeneration that is finally taking shape. The project designed by Studio Litote and Andstudio stems

The 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale has just come to a close. It was one of the richest and most significant editions in recent years, highlighting the transformations of coastal landscapes, the relationship between cities and water, and the need to rethink infrastructure as public spaces. The Biennale offered a unique perspective on the future of border areas—quays, ports, waterfronts, transit zones—and the role that architecture can play in transforming these once “margin
