Grazzini Tonazzini is an architectural atelier founded by Michele Grazzini and Andrea Tonazzini. It was established in the middle of the Apuan Alps, in the village of Farnocchia, and is currently based in Rome collaborating with Giorgia Colombo Architect.
The atelier is conceived as a research laboratory where architecture investigates the traditions of places reinterpreting their essential forms through a process of poetic expression. The work includes public and private projects for cultural, educational, sacred and residential buildings. The practice has obtained awards for competitions and collaborates with internationally renowned offices.
