The studio is led by Alessandra Travaini, an Italian-born architect and interior designer who brings European heritage and international experience to every project.
After studying at Politecnico di Milano and IDI’AC Milano, Alessandra began her career in Milan before moving to New York, where she worked with leading firms such as Groves & Co, Raad Studio, and SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill).
Alessandra draws inspiration from Italian, Belgian, Mexican, and Danish aesthetics, styles known for their understated elegance and attention to detail. She blends these influences with modern sensibility and sustainable intent, creating spaces that are timeless, personal, and unique.
"At Altra Studio, we believe great design is more than aesthetics, it’s about creating environments that inspire, support, and evolve with the people who live in them."
