Studio / Biophilic and regenerative architecture

An architecture studio,
a team shaped by each project

BIOMA is the architecture studio founded by Stefano Bocci. Each project has a team assembled around the expertise it needs: architecture, interiors, landscape, agronomy and building services. Stefano coordinates the team and is accountable to the client.

People and expertise

The team grows
from the project

The team changes with the project: a garden, a home renovation and a hotel call for different expertise. These are the people we work with most often; not everyone joins every commission.

01

Francesco Cecchetti

Agronomist + Landscape designer

Integrates soil, planting and landscape into ecological analysis and design decisions.

02

Ottavia Risa

Architect + Luxury interior designer

Translates needs, atmosphere and identity into coherent, tactile interiors shaped around experience.

03

Federico Giulietti

Home automation + Security systems

Coordinates automation, control and security so technology and space remain simple to inhabit.

04

Sandro Degni

Plant systems manager

Coordinates living systems, botanical choices and long-term care, connecting design with the real conditions of the place.

05

Alessio Chiabotti

Operations manager

Organises activities, timing and operational stages, keeping the work clear and coordinated.

06

Andrea Moretti

Strategy + Innovation manager

Connects scenarios, opportunities and development, helping the project evolve with clarity.

01Direction

One direction, many perspectives

We hold together what design
often separates

Space, landscape, material, comfort, use and impact are not independent chapters. BIOMA reads them as parts of the same habitat.

Stefano Bocci leads each commission and brings in the expertise it requires. The client keeps one clear point of reference while the project gains specialist perspectives.

A home to renovate, a workplace to rethink, a hotel or restaurant to design: each calls for a different response. We work with individuals, families, businesses and operators, connecting aspirations, uses, budget and site conditions.

For us, sustainable means reusing what is there and choosing materials that last. Biophilic means caring for the relationship between people and nature: light, air, views and plants. Regenerative is an objective: we only claim it when we can verify it.

FOUNDER / 01

Stefano Bocci

Architecture and landscape,
within the same vision

Stefano Bocci is an architect and garden designer. Since 2018 he has studied biophilia and regenerative design, exploring the relationships between built space, nature and everyday life.

He founded BIOMA in 2025 to turn this research into a design system able to coordinate sensitivity, expertise and evidence.

He leads each commission from the first question to design decisions, coordinating research, expertise and verification while preserving a direct relationship with the client.

Before developing the design, he agrees priorities, scope and review stages with the client. Alternatives are explained clearly, and the responsibilities of the professionals involved remain explicit.

Digital tools and artificial intelligence

Sensitivity, expertise and data,
under one direction

BIOMA uses digital tools and artificial intelligence to broaden research, comparison and documentation.

Decisions remain human, reasoned and proportionate to the project. Technology supports the process rather than taking its place.

01

Human sensitivity

Listening gives meaning to data and keeps design close to people.

02

Expertise

Each discipline enters when needed, with a clear role and responsibility.

03

Data and evidence

Observations become priorities, decisions and understandable forms of verification.

04

Artificial intelligence

It broadens research, comparison and documentation without replacing professional judgement.

What guides decisions

Principles that enter
the project

01

Life before form

We begin with people, uses and living systems, then seek the form able to support them.

02

The place sets the rules

Climate, light, memory, resources and constraints become design material.

03

Nature enters the system

Planting, water, soil and biodiversity take part in decisions rather than decoration.

04

Every choice remains legible

Objectives, evidence and responsibilities are documented throughout the process.

05

Design continues through use

We consider care and adaptation; where agreed, we observe use and learn from available results.
