Pietro Ferrario and Francesco Enea Castellanza graduated from the Politecnico di Milan in 2008 and, after a short stint doing work experience at other offices, set up Oasi in Busto Arsizio in 2009. The duo are committed to a thoughtful, research-based approach, which they have applied in spades to their recently completed UV House in Varese, and their ongoing FGN House , currently in design development. Their favourite project, though, is a not-for-profit one they undertook in Haiti for orphaned children. ‘Context and conditions made us get off the pedestal and consider real issues, such as light and where the sun burns,’ they say.
