Nathalie Scipioni Architects

What Nathalie Scipioni Architects does

Nathalie Scipioni Architects is a privately held, founder-owned boutique architectural practice established in Sydney, Australia in 2007. The firm operates as a multidisciplinary architectural practice offering six interconnected service lines: residential architecture, commercial architecture, interior design, heritage restoration and conservation, property development advisory, and feasibility studies. Services are delivered as bespoke, project-based engagements from initial concept through to construction completion, with the founder maintaining direct involvement in design oversight and project delivery across all engagements. The firm is registered with the New South Wales Architects Registration Board and holds Australian Design Practitioner credentials, and also operates under a secondary trade name, NSSTUDIO.

The practice's service model integrates contemporary European design influences with specialist heritage restoration expertise. This positioning is anchored by founder Nathalie Scipioni's doctoral credentials — a Doctorate in Architecture from the Università degli Studi di Firenze and a PhD in Heritage Restoration from the École de Chaillot in Paris — together with nearly 30 years of architectural experience across Europe and Australia, including prior work on UNESCO-grade heritage projects such as Place Stanislas in Nancy and Église Notre-Dame de Bonsecours. The firm delivers architecture, interior design, and project management as a single integrated service offering rather than through a multi-partner studio structure, executing work under the founder's personal supervision.

Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services fees tied to individual project scope, complexity, and client requirements, with no disclosed pricing tiers or recurring components. Client acquisition is driven by referrals, earned media coverage in architecture publications, and the firm's Houzz platform presence. The customer base spans residential, hospitality (Macquarie Ice Rink, India Resort), healthcare/wellness (The Well Elizabeth Bay), retail (Puntoshop), corporate (IGO2 Philippines), and club/community (RSL NSW, Drummoyne Sailing Club) segments across Sydney and select international markets. The firm is headquartered at Suite 4/306-310 New South Head Rd, Double Bay, NSW 2028, with no disclosed satellite offices.
