Founded in 2008 by architects Sara Berta and Andrea Borzelli, both with already nearly a decade of experience in the world of architecture and yachting, the Studio is committed to imagining and realizing projects where aesthetics, innovation, and functionality coexist through constant research in styling, technology, sustainability, and tradition. The theme of sustainability has in particular become a fundamental pivot around which the creative process revolves.
This process always sees a strong interaction with all the figures involved, including engineers, naval architects, systems engineers etc. aiming to find aesthetic solutions harmonized with every technical and constructive aspect, without forgetting the importance of the journey undertaken together with clients and builders, leading from initial sketches to the birth of marvelous pieces of moving architecture.
The interdisciplinary nature, diverse professions and skills represent another strong point of the Studio, which manages to channel stimuli, suggestions, and inputs into each project, ranging from sensorial to technical aspects. The goal is to maximize the well-being, the pleasure, and the general onboard living experience.
The Studio internally develops all kinds of projects, from initial sketches to construction drawings or lighting calculations, taking care of every aspect of the design through all the tools that technology and tradition offer to creativity.
Exceeding our clients' expectations represents the purpose of our work through constant innovation and special attention to every phase of the creative process, always mindful of the timelines and budgets that define the life of each project.
Both graduated in Architecture in Rome, they followed different courses: Sara developed a great interest in lighting and how it influences architectural spaces, and she is a passionate and enthusiast yachtswoman by family tradition, while Andrea pursued academic and professional experiences related to vehicle design, starting his activity in the nautical world in the early 2000s, coming into direct contact with all the shipbuilding realities at that time associated with the Ferretti Group. For over twenty years, alongside their professional path, they have also been involved in editorial and educational activities related to design in every form.
Borzelli & Berta’s Services: feasibility study, exterior design, interior design, projects representations, outfitting shop drawings, lighting design, consultancy/owner representative services.
The Studio is now involved in investigating the possible interactions between the world of pleasure boating with workboats, and how through the use of common platforms and targeted refit operations a more sustainable boating industry can be developed.
