Park Associati

What Park Associati does

Park Associati is an interdisciplinary architecture collective founded in 2000 in Milan, Italy by Filippo Pagliani and Michele Rossi. Operating as a unified practice across architecture, urban planning, interior design, and product design, the firm serves multinational corporations, real estate developers, and public institutions. Named enterprise clients include Luxottica, Nestlé, Accenture, Salewa (Oberalp Group), Electrolux, Morgan Stanley SGR, Prelios, Brioschi Sviluppo Immobiliare, Kryalos SGR, and MasterCard, with major commissions including the Accenture People Hub (31,500 m², LEED Gold/WELL), Nestlé Headquarters (22,000 m²), Salewa Headquarters (25,000 m², zero-emission), Luxottica Digital Factory and HQ in Milan, and the Pharo office tower (22,100 m², LEED Platinum).

The firm's underlying capability centres on sustainable, context-sensitive design with deep expertise in LEED, WELL, and CasaClima certification pathways, bio-philic and renovation-first approaches, and innovative facade and material research (micro-perforated aluminium, electrocoloured surfaces, advanced glazing). It employs nearly 100 collaborators in a converted telephone factory in Milan's Città Studi district and runs an active pipeline of large-scale projects including Pirelli 35 (Architecture MasterPrize 2025 Best of the Best), Alis, and Lybra. Geographic footprint is primarily Italy with demonstrated delivery in Austria (Salewa HQ) and northern Europe (Helsinki Telescope).

The business model is professional services: custom-quoted fees per project based on scope and complexity, delivered through direct enterprise relationships and likely competitive RFP processes. Brand and inbound demand are supported by an active marketing programme across LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, a newsletter, international architecture exhibitions (Venice Biennale, Pisa Biennale), and earned media in Architizer, Domus, Arketipo, and Detail. The studio has won recognition from Architecture MasterPrize (multiple years), Red Dot, iF Design, Compasso d'Oro (honourable mention), ADI Design Index, Chicago Athenaeum, Mies van der Rohe (finalist), and Italy's Premio Architetto Italiano, alongside an adjacent product-design business exemplified by the award-winning Nebbia Collection.
