“Ilaria is a valid interior designer, highly collaborative and full of creative, but feasible ideas.She has helped first with a partial renovation of my flat, and then given precious advice for a new apartment, supporting both with ideas and work direction.”

“Ilaria Gatto is a talented architect and interior designer with a keen sense of detail, light, and materials. I would highly recommend working with her.”

Marco Neri

Associate Engineer at Arup Architecture

Arquitecto - Diseño y Direccion de Obra

“I strongly recommend Ilaria to whoever is looking for a Project Architect. I worked alongside Ilaria on the New Doha International Airport for over a year, and it has always been a pleasure. She was supervising a group of architects while designing the areas under her charge, and she was proficient at it. I noticed she was very responsible and on top of every minor detail. She has a strong leadership but friendly manner, being able to convey a team spirit to the people working with her. I am sure she will always be an asset to her employer, and I recommend her once again.”
