AOUMM is a design firm operating nationally and internationally within the domains of architectural, landscape, urban, interior, and exhibition design, developing projects where different expertise triggers unexpected synergies.
AOUMM is based in Milan and led by Luca Astorri, Riccardo Maria Balzarotti, Rossella Locatelli and Matteo Umberto Poli.

AOUMM is a design practice led by four partners with diverse and complementary expertise. Its work spans architecture, urbanism, interior, exhibition, and landscape design, developing projects in which interdisciplinary knowledge fosters unexpected synergies.

AOUMM’s architecture is never off-the-shelf. Each project emerges from an open and intensive dialogue with clients and from continuous, in-depth research into the cultural, historical, and environmental specificities of the context. This process leads to distinctive solutions that respond with sensitivity to spatial and architectural challenges, while actively promoting culture, identity, and participation.

The practice is grounded in solid expertise in budget, process, and program control, and in a dynamic conversation with the city, clients, consultants, contractors, and end-users. The post-occupancy experience plays a key role from the earliest design phases, ensuring that every project reflects the diversity, openness, and inventiveness that define AOUMM’s work.
