About
I was born and raised in Switzerland, daughter of two architects, I spent my formative years between Milano and Lugano, where I completed a BA (Hons) in Economics and a MSc in Finance. I have worked across different banking jobs for two leading global companies, both in Zurich and London. Real estate and property renovation always played an important role in my daily life, and this has inspired me to change career to interior design. I seek inspiration through my curiosity and keen eye for aesthetically pleasing spaces and I am driven by a strong passion for beautiful environments. My vision is often centred around clear architectural elements blended with curated and refined finishes. My intent is to bring an intrinsic charm to my designs, that result in spaces with a timeless yet exploratory feel, characterised by a balanced mix of classics and contemporary pieces, influenced by my globetrotting spirit and multicultural roots.

Concept
The color palette plays around shades of reds and greens, greys and browns. Earth, sand, foliage and rock, the palette echoes Italian vibe from the 60’s. Deep forest green, vivid military orange, yellow-khaki and complex tint of umber give the space a refined tone.
A loft for two is an open-space apartment designed for a sophisticated couple, a soothing and intimate space, full of natural light and considered materials. The project, organized around a strong architectural idea, is inspired by its owner’s passion for art and different cultures. This home has a retro vibe and a subtle color palette.

Inspiration and concept A home for dance
Dance student
SARA LURATI PORTFOLIO
“Dance is all about connection - with music, with yourself, with a partner, with
the audience”
ICONICSCULPTURAL SENSUAL POETIC
The reception, leading to dance studios, theater, shops and cafes, is envisioned to be an open welcoming space to attract potential dancers and investors, host events and be a gathering place.
Inspiration comes from an investigation on movement, as a composition of forms and gestures. Dance as a form of art, expression of rhythm, with an aesthetic and symbolic value.

Architectural development
Integrating movement into the early phase of planning, with fluid shapes, architectural rhythm and Golden Rule proportions. The concept focuses on the dual nature of dance, by playing with the contrast between strength and fragility, giving the space an aesthetic and symbolic value.
