Alessandro brings the right tools to the table. Including an impeccable team to support the work.
Alessandro Perinelli is an architect and designer shaped by cultures and experiences. Raised in Rome with an Italian father and German mother, Alessandro grew up surrounded by dramatic architecture, contradiction, and strong opinions about how spaces should feel. He studied architecture in Italy and Austria and has since lived in Vienna, Germany, Sri Lanka, Brooklyn, and now, based in Singapore.
His work spans restaurants, clubs, hotels, and homes across the West, Europe, and Asia including New York City, London, Malaysia, Burma, the Netherlands, Japan, Turkey, and India.
Alessandro approaches projects a bit like a doctor: first understanding the problem, the people, and how a space needs to function, then shaping the design around that. He knows how to find the highest quality of materials to last, while staying curious.
His goal is simple: spaces that look good, feel right, and work.
What's the result? Unexpected, timeless beauty.
That same way of working extends beyond client projects. In Nairobi, he collaborated with the United Nations and international NGOs on community-led strategies to improve housing and infrastructure. In Sri Lanka, he directed on-site operations for the final phase of a post-tsunami Community Health Centre.
"There’s something instinctive in how we respond to space. It should have light, clarity, and a strong thread that holds it together. Spaces should feel considered and organized."
