Studio Catenaccio is a design practice founded by Grace Catenaccio and based in London. We work in London, around the UK, and internationally.
The studio specialises in design within and alongside existing contexts, enhancing their unique, often historic, features, including residential and commercial buildings, interiors, urban spaces, and landscapes.
The practice’s design approach is client-focused, with an emphasis on collaboration. By taking inspiration from the existing built elements and working closely with clients, we design spaces that feel both grounded and personal: part of a continuum, but also fresh and new.
About the studio
Grace Catenaccio, Director
Grace founded Studio Catenaccio in 2022 as an opportunity to apply her skills and experience to more personal and creative projects. Originally from New York City, she has lived in London since 2010.
Prior to founding the studio, Grace worked at other architectural and urban design practices for 15 years, most recently as an Associate Director at Publica. Her project experience has focused on sensitive contemporary new build, refurbishment, and regeneration in existing and historic contexts, with emphasis on the planning process for residential and mixed-use schemes.
