michielizanatta

michielizanatta is an architecture firm founded in 2004 by Tommaso Michieli and Christian Zanatta, with offices in Udine and Treviso. Born from the meeting of two different and complementary paths - one rooted in Friulian tradition and one in Venetian artisan culture - the firm inherits over seventy years of design activity, transforming it into a contemporary, open, and multidisciplinary vision.

Each project stems from deep listening and concrete relationships with people. The approach is empathetic, precise, and collaborative: architecture as a shared process, capable of shaping spaces that enhance daily life, foster relationships, connect interior and exterior, time and life. The goal is to expand life through space, intervening intelligently, delicately, and coherently in the built environment.

The firm operates on different scales and fields: from custom home design - new constructions or renovations - to contemporary workspacescollective and public architectures. Special attention is given to infrastructure and zero-volume architecture as opportunities to enhance the landscape.

The work is organized as an open network, integrating internal expertise and external collaborations in a network that adapts to the needs of each project.

Among the most significant works: the headquarters of Cantina Montelliana, the urban project for Lungomare in Lignano Sabbiadoro, and the infrastructural interventions for Passante in Mestre.

michielizanatta is also a cultural laboratory. This is demonstrated by architrip, a parallel project that explores the intersection of architecture, travel, and storytelling, and the continuous commitment to communicating and disseminating architecture as a practice that impacts people's lives.
