About
Alberto started FFAF to do straightforward architecture that still feels special. He lines up the right people early, sets clear goals, and keeps the drawings honest. The results are spaces that work on day one and year ten.
He enjoys civic work, housing, and workplaces where teams need flexible plans. He leans on passive moves first and adds systems where they count. He also mentors younger designers so the studio shares the same playbook.
Work samples

180 homes and ground floor shops. Brick and steel nod to local industry. Green roofs add comfort and better runoff.
Daylight for most units Rooftop commons
Greenwich Innovation Hub
Modular offices for teams that grow. Green walls shade the façade and make the identity obvious from a block away.
Less fit out churn Better comfort
