Atelier Optif is a young architecture, design and research studio, that understands the practice as constant exploration across multiple domains from territories to objects. We design with an open, playful and optimistic approach with time, space and cultural context in mind.

Our work is set between various field of the architectural and design culture from building construction to object design, publications, teaching and research project curation.
We embrace an open-ended approach to address each commission, whether small or large, public or private, as an opportunity to create unique and context-sensitive designs. We aim to look at design beyond the usual and we strive for the porosity of the project, collaborating with actors from various creative fields.

Founded in 2024 by Alessandro Cacioppo, Atelier Optif emerges from a diverse range of experiences. Graduated between Turin and Hong Kong, Alessandro trained as an architect in Italy, Spain, France, and The Netherlands. He collaborated with RCR Arquitectes (Pritzker Prize, 2017) on the design of the artistic and cultural complex on the Île Seguin in Paris, and also worked in Paris for Atelier Jean Nouvel (Pritzker Prize, 2008). Alessandro operates at the intersection of various disciplines, acting as both an architect and a strategic designer. He combines practice and research by teaching as a design assistant at Politecnico di Milano.
