Studio APA is an architectural practice founded by Andrea Palazzo, an Italian architect who has lived in Prague for many years. The studio operates from Prague and focuses on the reconstruction of historic and existing residential buildings, alongside new construction projects and interior design. Their expertise also extends to offices, restaurants, retail spaces, and educational facilities.
Since its establishment, Studio APA has developed particular strength in refurbishing older properties, blending technical expertise with sensitivity to historical contexts. The firm tailors each project from initial feasibility studies through to technical site supervision during construction, ensuring attention to detail throughout all phases. They emphasize working closely with clients, offering direct consultation and custom solutions.
In recent years, Studio APA broadened its reach by collaborating with UPA Italia, an international studio led by architect Paolo Lettieri. This partnership has enabled Studio APA to participate in larger-scale architectural and interior design projects outside the EU, notably in CIS countries and across the Middle East.
While specific project numbers or staff size are not published on the studio’s public site, Studio APA highlights a diverse portfolio that ranges from small apartment renovations in Prague to larger, regional ventures made possible by international alliances. Their projects typify a pragmatic yet design-driven approach, reflective of both their Italian roots and the architectural heritage of Prague. The firm is positioned as a boutique, multicultural studio actively engaged in both the Czech and broader international markets.
