From Concept to Construction—Designed with Care.
Brief About Us.
Nova e Architects is an architectural practice founded on collaboration, bringing together consolidated professional experience and a forward-looking design vision.
With over 30 years of professional practice, Fernando Altieri has developed a wide range of residential, public, and sacred architecture projects. His work reflects technical precision, construction expertise, and a deep understanding of architectural continuity and permanence.
Alongside this experience, Valerio Di Stefano contributes a contemporary perspective shaped by passion, research, and a strong desire to engage with the future of architecture.
His approach is driven by conceptual clarity and innovation, while maintaining respect for historical memory and contextual identity. Rather than erasing the past, his work seeks to reinterpret and leave subtle traces of it within contemporary architectural language.
NovaeArchitects represents the dialogue between experience and evolution — a practice rooted in knowledge, yet constantly looking ahead.
What We Do
Architecture
We design architecture that is clear in concept and precise in execution. Our process begins with site reading, program definition, and feasibility—then moves into massing, spatial planning, façade logic, and technical coordination. We work to make the structure and the envelope perform: daylight, orientation, privacy, and comfort are developed alongside buildability, cost awareness, and regulations.
From early concept packages to construction documentation, we coordinate with engineers and specialists to keep the design consistent at every scale—from overall proportions to details, junctions, and material transitions. The goal is an architecture that feels calm and intentional, and that holds its quality over time.
Typical services: concept design, schematic design, planning support, façade studies, material strategy, consultant coordination, tender & construction documents, site assistance.
Interior Design
We create interiors that feel effortless—spaces shaped by proportion, light, and material coherence. We start with how the space will be used: circulation, storage, ergonomics, and daily routines. Then we translate that into a clear spatial hierarchy and a refined palette: finishes, joinery, lighting, and furniture that work together as one system.
We pay close attention to the “in-between” moments that define comfort: thresholds, acoustics, warmth, and lighting scenes across day and night. Whether residential or hospitality-leaning interiors, we aim for durability, easy maintenance, and a strong sense of atmosphere without unnecessary complexity.
Typical services: space planning, mood & material boards, custom joinery design, lighting concept, FF&E selection, specifications, procurement support, installation coordination.
Landscape & Planting
We treat landscape as an extension of architecture—not an afterthought. Outdoor space is designed for performance and experience: shade, privacy, drainage, and microclimate, as well as the sequence of movement and views. We integrate terraces, paths, and planting to create spaces that are usable across seasons and that strengthen the relationship between building and site.
Planting is developed with long-term care in mind: resilient species, low-maintenance strategies where needed, and compositions that mature well over time. From small courtyards to larger plots, we aim to deliver outdoor environments that feel natural, structured, and deeply connected to the project’s identity.
Typical services: site strategy, hardscape design, planting concept, irrigation/drainage coordination, outdoor lighting concept, detailed planting plans, maintenance guidance.
