ALEXANDRA CAVIGIOLI – Director dipl. EPFL, Msc & ARB

Alexandra is an ARB registered architect based in London.

A graduate in Architecture from the Federal Institute of Technology - EPFL - in Lausanne, Switzerland, Alexandra founded the architecture & interior design section of Cavigioli Ltd in 2019; prior to this she gained 25 years experience working for architecture, interior and retail design firms in Geneva and in London.

The practice focuses on residential architectural and interior projects, but is also experienced in commercial/retail design such as art galleries and fashion stores.

We cover all aspects of a building project from design to completion. This includes collaborating with consultants, liaising with local councils in the pursuit of planning permission, managing and coordinating contractors and building trades.

Influenced by European architecture, our design draws inspiration from living in Switzerland and frequent travelling to Italy. Since moving to the UK in 1998 and being exposed through work experience to traditional heritage architecture the work merges restoration & preservation of existing structures with contemporary solutions and designs.

We have good knowledge of furniture and lighting and are able to source from an extensive selection of products.
