Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel (ACPV) announces the merge of its two legal entities, with Citterio-Viel & Partners Interiors S.r.l. merging into Citterio-Viel & Partners S.r.l. The consolidation of administrative operations is a result of the reunification of ACPV's two fold spirit that now brings architecture and interior design ever so close, enhancing the synergies between the two complementary strands of work.
Growing to a network of almost 130 professionals coordinated by eight partners working alongside co-founders Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, the two companies earned €20m revenues in 2019. This achievement positioned the practice as the first architecture and design firm in Italy for revenues, and made ACPV the first Italian practice ever to be listed on ENR's Top 225 international design firms. In 2020, the Italy based firm celebrates 20 years of activity in the fields of architecture, interior design and urban design, with some of its operations reaching back as early as the 1980s.
It revives our pride to look at the firm’s stable and outstanding performance figures. Our focus remains improving quality of life in the city, and reformulating spaces for a more sustainable and fair society.
This recent company change will allow the firm to touch on a wide range of disciplines to fulfill the requirements of each project, with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life. The concept of livability continues to permeate every aspect of ACPV’s work, spaces conceived as the connecting matter of a city, binding together streets, public spaces, services, nature, and, most importantly, people. The firm’s holistic approach will bring together seemingly disconnected fields and disciplines to create an integrated vision that stands the test of time, resulting in outcomes that foster both social and environmental sustainability.
Beyond the increased efficiency of administrative functions, the change will bring even more fluid ways in which professionals of diverse disciplines can collaborate within the firm to find solutions of a quality that forms a class of its own.
