Co-founder – TWOFLD Architects

Stefano Paiocchi is an architect with over 20 years of international experience, gained in the development of distinctive architectural concepts and spatial experiences in fields ranging from hospitality to residential, from urban regeneration to cultural spaces, and mixed-use projects. Before co-founding TWOFLD, Stefano worked for over 12 years at Zaha Hadid Architects in London, holding the role of Senior Associate and working on the design and implementation of high-profile international projects. Previously, he was director of the New York office of Neil M. Denari Architects – where he oversaw the HL23 project, from concept to completion – and collaborated with the Diller Scofidio + Renfro studio, also in New York. His approach is thoughtful and pragmatic, characterized by a specific interest in spatial identity, adaptable design systems, and the relationship between people, the place, and the broader urban context. Its goal is to create buildings and spaces deeply rooted in their context and culture, endowed with a distinctive character and capable of infusing meaning and joy into everyday life.
