Matthew Peek AIA studied architecture at Berkeley, Columbia, and Yale, with a Fulbright at the University of Venice. His work ranges from interiors built with the exclusive use of sustainable materials to high performance residential and commercial buildings combining innovative structure and energy-efficient facade systems.

Renata Ancona studied architecture, urban design, and engineering at Berkeley, Pescara, and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Florence. Her work is characterized by a contemporary aesthetic focusing on the refinement of sustainable materials. Renata’s twenty years of experience in the U.S. and Italy offers a wide perspective on design and construction, and her research on high performance structure and materials is projected into new lightweight architectural forms.
