STUDIO CATENACCIO LIMITED

What STUDIO CATENACCIO LIMITED does

Studio Catenaccio Limited is a London-based, founder-led architecture and design practice incorporated in England in 2022, operating from a registered office on Paul Street in the EC2A postcode. The firm delivers an integrated portfolio spanning architecture, interior design, spatial strategy, outdoor spaces strategy, and conservation and heritage works for residential, commercial, educational, heritage, and public sector clients across London, the wider UK, and internationally including the United States.

The studio is led by director and founder Grace Catenaccio, who brings nearly 20 years of professional experience spanning heritage projects at Studio PDP (including work for the Royal Hospital Chelsea), senior public realm strategy roles at Publica (including co-leading the Mayor's Good Growth by Design guidance on Making London Child-Friendly), and prior positions at Tim Ronalds Architects and Stantec Architecture in New York. The practice's core technology is its interdisciplinary design methodology — a contextual approach combining architecture, interior design, and urban design strategy rather than any proprietary software or platform; there is no proprietary product, no app, and no API offering. Project work has secured multiple regulatory approvals including Listed Building Consent for a Grade-II Listed screen wall in Hampstead Garden Suburb, Listed Building Consent and planning permission for a Victorian terrace in the Crabtree Conservation Area, and final consent from the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust.

The business model is project-based professional services: revenue is generated through design fees, planning application services, and construction administration on a per-project basis. The go-to-market is sales-led via direct engagement with private clients, professional networks, design review panel appointments (notably the London Borough of Islington Design Review Panel), academic teaching positions (Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University), and community engagement. No headcount, revenue, or pricing data are publicly disclosed, and the firm carries no external funding rounds, subsidiaries, patents, trademarks, or certifications in the input data.
