PHYLOSOPHY - DESIGN IDEA
The attention to beauty in its forms,
even in simplicity.
Our design guideline is based on the attention to the overall whole as well as to the details that characterise each project, from concept to realisation, developing an all-embracing approach: from indoor comfort to outdoor wellness.
We design customised spaces and environments with quality and elegance. We collaborate with talented artists to enrich your project with works of art that represent you.
So it doesn’t matter if it is indoors or outdoors, if it is day or night; we capture and shape your needs to include within the project those details that can convey emotions and envelop you in a sense of wellness.
Our aim is to create customised environments that reflect your identity, integrating comfort and aesthetics to turn every detail into an exciting and comfortable experience for your home, leisure or business and in harmony with the energy of the environment.
 
COMPANY
Company
Attention to every detail

The company APB was founded in 2021 by Ing. Cattaneo Paolo, a construction engineer specialised in indoor environmental quality and a professional who has been working for thirty years as Technical Director, General Manager, of major Italian players in the building and energy fields.

In these areas, he has gained experience and expertise through a long series of projects, including important realisations and renovations involving, among others, buildings on the Grand Canal in Venice, historical façades in the centre of Rome, and the realisation and enhancement of outdoor parks, gardens, public buildings and entire cities through the study and realisation of public city lighting.

From this background APB was therefore born with the objective of offering itself as a partner to the Client to develop architectural and design activities as well as to support it in consultancy or Project Management activities.

During the year 2023, APB expanded its existing high-level collaborations by integrating high-profile professionals into its staff, in order to continue expanding the range of services offered to include specialised interior design, virtual reality and Artificial Intelligence model design and development.

In addition to professionals of high standing, APB’s staff also consists of renowned artists who, through the refined artistic beauty of their works, highlight the customisation and uniqueness of the spaces created.

APB has several locations: in Italy it operates in Rome and Milan, in Spain in Valencia.

Cassio Zangarini, Brazilian, has been passionate about art since childhood and discovered a passion for drawing, modelling and sculpting.

For years, he was the art and culture contact person for the city of São Paulo, Brazil, then art called him.

Today, his intensely mature technique ranges from pencil to sculpture, allowing him to transform a dream into an art reality.

Today he lives in Italy and started an exclusive collaboration with our company; directly and through artists he coordinates, he allows us to customise unique spaces and give voice to the beauty of art that is integrated in design.

Hence, we design and realise custom-made bas-reliefs, high reliefs, paintings, statues and representations in harmony with the environment and space, and give art to your space.

We also contribute to the research and realisation of custom-made solutions and objects.
Cassio Antonio Zangarini
ARTIST AND SCULPTOR
We increasingly believe that designing a built environment, interior or exterior, means doing so in harmony with the environment, the client and the energy and balance of the place.

It is now well known that philosophies such as feng shui are key to providing environments that are harmonious and transmit wellbeing to their occupants and users.

Tiziana Lo Surdo, in our team, takes care of this, accompanying the client along the path of obtaining a space that is his own, energetically welcoming and in harmony with the physical and architectural part.
