SIMONE AURELI ARCHITECTE is available for new projects

A little presentation of my agency and myself…

I studied for 6 years at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. I then worked for 2 years in Italy and then it was by winning a competition organized by the Order of Architects that I left to work in France. The reward was being able to work in an agency of your choice. Not speaking a word of French, I chose to work in the agency of Italian origin in Paris. I stayed there for 5 years, mainly carrying out competitions.

Over the years, in the agency, I did not have much more responsibilities, nor greater commitments to projects. One day I worked on an elevation for individuals, so I moved away from just designing to also do construction work. It was a click. So in 2016 I left the agency and a few months later I opened my own. I was part-time between a job in a large French architecture agency and my personal projects. I started by renovating a small apartment then from 2019 the volume of incoming projects became too large for me to keep my job in the agency. So I devoted myself full time to my agency's projects.

3 words to define your identity?

1. creativity: you have to make people dream
2. pragmatic: while keeping your feet on the ground
3. caring: and by being present for them, honest and smiling.

I would like to add a 4th one which is very important to me: empathetic.

Generally speaking, I am proud of all projects that clients are satisfied with.

Regarding my work, I have observed that doing ¾ of my work by hand, offering several options (in sketches) and always indicating the work budget for my projects are elements that attract and please clients.
