The projects of the studio are informed by a sensitive approach to physical consistency of existing urban contexts and territories. Our work ranges from commercial offices, residential at all scales, to buildings for culture and education. In every different case, we evaluate our projects on how they are able to perform culturally in the city.

 

 

We are highly receptive to our Clients’ views and requirements and bring extensive best practice knowledge to their projects in the areas of design and construction. At the same time we aim to design buildings that are belonging to different cultural contexts and reconnect with the universal discourse of architecture.

 

 

We enjoy working through collaborations with friends and architects we esteem. This widens our perspectives and improve relations based on shared convinctions. We are also used to collaborate with several consultants from different disciplines; in this way we have proven ability in realising buildings that exceed our clients expectations.

 

 

Carbon reduction in construction and use is an integral part of our design process. We have extensive experience leading design teams to create environmentally responsible buildings, believing that an economy of means and durability are the first necessary steps in considering the environmental and economic dimensions of sustainability.

 

 

Angelo Lunati graduated in Architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1998 and earned a Ph.D. from ETH Zurich in 2018. His doctoral dissertation, focused on Milanese architecture and urbanism, later became the book Ideas of Ambiente: History and Bourgeois Ethics in the Construction of Modern Milan.

He founded Onsitestudio in 2006, guiding the practice with a vision rooted in critical thinking, urban awareness, and architectural precision. His work bridges design, research, and pedagogy, and reflects a strong commitment to architecture’s civic and cultural role.

Angelo is an Associate Professor of Architectural Design at the Politecnico di Milano, Department of Architecture and Urban Studies. He has also held visiting teaching positions at IUAV Venice, TU Wien, and served as John Portman Visiting Critic at Harvard GSD. He is currently a Design Critic at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

 

 

The studio is led by a group of directors who play a key role in shaping Onsitestudio’s design vision and project execution: Tommaso Brambati, Michele Miserotti and Chiara Molinari. Each brings deep architectural expertise, leadership, and a shared commitment to collaborative practice.

Chiara, Tommaso and Michele have been an integral part of Onsitestudio since its early years, leading complex projects across housing, public buildings, and urban design. Their experience ensures the studio’s design values are carried through every stage of development.
