STUDIO

GiovannoniTian Architects is an award-winning international design studio founded by Lorenzo Giovannoni and Lilly Tian, specializing in bespoke projects that seamlessly blend architecture, interiors, and décor across residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces.

Lorenzo is an Italian architect who graduated with honours from the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio, Switzerland, and further honed his expertise in luxury design at ECAL in Lausanne. Lilly, originally from Shanghai, pursued her art education in England before earning a master’s degree from the Royal College of Art in London, shaping her distinctive approach to interiors.

After collaborating with some of the most esteemed figures in the industry, Lorenzo and Lilly decided to establish their own studio, developing a unique design language based on the synthesis of heritage and modernity, drawing inspiration from their cultural backgrounds and shared passion for timeless beauty.

OUR APPROACH

At Giovannoni Architecture, design is rooted in the belief that timeless elegance emerges from a deep understanding of history and tradition. With a profound appreciation for cultural heritage and contemporary innovation, the studio distills the essence of beauty, proportion, and craftsmanship—drawing inspiration from Italian architecture and the enduring allure of Chinese art, and reinterpreting them through a modern lens.

We believe every project tells a story, shaped by a meticulous exploration of materiality, form, and detail. Our goal is to create contemporary classics: designs that transcend trends and embody both tradition and modernity with lasting sophistication.
