NOS Design is an architecture and interior design firm based in Rome, Italy, founded in 2012 by architect Benedetta Gargiulo Morelli, who serves as both administrator and artistic director, along with architect Simona La Cognata. The studio emerged after its founders gained significant experience in both Italian and international contexts, including London and Shanghai, and is known for its involvement in a mix of private and public sector projects, with a marked emphasis on high-end residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces.
The practice operates with an international network of partners, reflecting a reach that extends beyond Rome to regions such as the Amalfi Coast, London, and Shanghai. NOS Design has experience in restoring historic and ancient properties, particularly those in prestigious Italian locations, and its portfolio demonstrates a focus on increasing the value and enhancing the character of these buildings through careful architectural intervention.
Among the types of projects the firm undertakes are luxury residences, tourist accommodations, offices, and public spaces. NOS Design’s work involves not just new constructions, but also the restoration and adaptive reuse of architecturally significant properties. The firm maintains a stated commitment to environmentally sensitive design and collaborates closely with both public administration and private clients to deliver projects within specified budget constraints.
Recent projects highlighted by the firm include residential renovations and hospitality projects, particularly those involving historic buildings. Their approach to design blends functionality, refinement, and a respect for Italian architectural heritage.
