In conceiving a new project the approach to space is always expressed in two simultaneous dialogues: one with the place and one with the territorial context and its culture.

In 1994 Giovanna Cornelio, Massimiliano Locatelli and Annamaria Scevola founded the CLS Architetti studio which opened a branch in New York in 1997.

Today Locatelli Partners studio is led by Massimiliano Locatelli and Giovanna Cornelio heading up a team of more than sixty professionals including architects, engineers and designers.

Since the birth of the company, the studio has worked in all sectors of design, in the most varied of contexts: private homes, showrooms and shops, restaurants and hotels, ranging from the construction of new buildings to the restoration of monumental complexes and historic homes, expressing a contemporary vision with respect for tradition.

The projects always cover all aspects of the process, whatever the scale. From the direct relationship with the client, to the always in-real me and ever-changing dialogue with the spaces and materials, with specific attention to the design of the furnishings, custom made for the spaces which host them, and which are currently available in the Massimiliano Locatelli Editions collection.

Over the years, Locatelli Partners has received many international awards, the attention of the specialized press and prestigious clients all over the world for its constant innovation in design and the use of cu ng-edge technologies and material research. The choice of more sustainable construction systems is a recognizable style visible between the aesthetic research of the dream and the functionality of reality.
