Cappai and Segantini work internationally at all project scales: from landscape to urban design, from architecture to interiors for private and public clients. Their holistic approach to all project scales is generated by a constant dialogue that translates into form the wishes of clients, consultants, companies and users in the same way as the relationships with the contexts with which the project is confronted.
