bloomscape is a creative team of young architects with diverse, yet complementary skills and experiences, fluent in English, Italian and German for slim communication and proficient with CAD application, graphics & image editing software and 3D visualisation.
The practice was set up by Katrin Wichelhaus and Rosario Distaso, an international couple that constantly pursues the idea of an independent design office. Influenced by their studies and work across Europe and Australia, the duo developed their authentic design style.
bloomscape stands for the idea that outstanding design solutions arise from the successful interplay of different disciplines and cross-inspirational design collaborations.
More brains, better design.
(bloom = a state of beauty, freshness and vigor; an opening to higher perfection, analogous to that of buds into blossoms; as the best time of youth, the period of greatest prosperity or productivity)
