The Studio

Designing the feeling of a place.

GCA Studio is a young architecture and interior design practice based in Forlì, Italy, working for private clients and hospitality across Italy and abroad. We design quiet, material-driven interiors — spaces defined by proportion, natural light and the honesty of stone, wood and metal.

Founder

Gianluca Comandini

Architect and interior designer working in the world of luxury living. Gianluca founded GCA Studio to pursue a single idea: that the most memorable spaces are not the loudest, but the most precisely felt.

His work is informed by professional experience within the high-end Italian design industry — a world of fine surfaces, stone and craftsmanship where detail is everything.

A registered architect — enrolled with the Ordine degli Architetti di Forlì-Cesena since 2014 and a graduate in Architecture from Venice — he pairs technical rigour with a refined sensitivity for materials, light and proportion.

How we work

Principles

01

Material first

We begin with the material — its colour, weight and grain — and let it guide the architecture, rather than the other way around.

02

Light as structure

Natural light is treated as a building material. Every opening is placed to shape mood across the hours of the day.

03

Made to last

We favour timeless choices over trends — interiors that feel as considered in twenty years as on the first day.

Let's build something lasting.
