FTA is a multidisciplinary design studio established in 2005 in Milan that operates on an international level, developing projects in collaboration with a network of specialists. FTA has developed renovation and ground-up projects of various scale: from residential and commercial to office, service and mixed use spaces and exhibition and industrial design.

FTA's works are characterized by energetically efficient consciousness and sensibility toward context and topology, implementing a delicate balance between innovative technologies and the use of exiting traditional materials, translating the limits posed by energetically conscious design into a creative opportunity. This approach has been recognized through various awards, exhibitions and conferences in both Italy and abroad. The Studio is also actively engaged in research and education directed toward Sustainable Design.
