Villa Anelli, designed by Fausto Ferrara and developed by Arckeo, is defined by the relationship between its sweeping curved roof, water, light and the horizon.

Arckeo | Executive Workshop

Founded and directed by Fausto Ferrara since 2004

A workshop
of architecture and design

Arckeo is a workshop where Fausto Ferrara's signature projects are developed, with teamwork organized into phases and deliverables.
We work on various scales—from apartments to residential developments—following the process from concept to completion, including project management when required.

How we work

Let's get things in order before drawing: objectives, priorities, timescales and constraints.


We then develop the project through teamwork right up to the construction site, without losing our initial direction.

  • Through pre-purchase property due diligence, we assess the property before purchase or transformation.

    ​

    • Urban planning and building regulations

    • Cadastral compliance

    • Constraints and critical issues

    • Feasibility of renovation, expansion, or demolition/reconstruction

    • Risks, timeframes, and authorization process

  • We align goals, priorities and constraints before starting.

    ​

    • operational brief

    • space program

    • roadmap (phases, times, decisions)

  • We set direction and alternatives, without wasting time.

    ​

    • layouts and scenarios

    • atmosphere / materials

    • guiding choices

  • From design to implementation, with coordinated deliverables.

    ​

    • architectural project

    • procedures and authorizations

    • consultant coordination

    ​​

    For existing properties, we develop renovation and interior design projects, from concept through to completion.

  • Model and documentation for better coordination and construction.

    ​

    • information model

    • clash/coordination

    • construction site documents

  • We monitor the implementation phase for consistency and quality.

    ​

    • execution control

    • variants and decisions

    • checks during construction

  • Management of time, costs and decision flows.

    ​

    • activity planning

    • progress control

    • alignment with companies/suppliers

News

For apartments, houses, and villas: renovations and new builds with a clear path to completion.

​

What we include:

​

  • layout, concept, materials / light

  • practices (when necessary)

  • specifications and comparison of companies

  • construction management (when required)

​

Research

Research is part of the workshop: proportions, light, material, and spatial sequences become operational tools that guide the project and construction site.

Works

Every project begins with a workshop: objectives, constraints, and choices become a clear path to completion. Here's a selection of works at various scales.
