Meet our team


X Collective crafts architectural ideas bringing to life projects that are inspired by values, emotions, and pragmatism, shaping tomorrow’s demanding future inside a brighter, and more beautiful environment.

Our enthusiasm and creativity for architecture and design along with our experience in projects such as hotels, private residences and commercial buildings are the ingredients to compose unique and open-minded ecosystems.

We form project environments that allow things to happen. We experiment with materials and building technics. We respect local values. We design and fabricate custom geometrical structures. No matter the scale, We aim for a unique architectural identity for our projects and for a unique living experience for our clients. We, collectively.

 

X Collective has managed to finish striking projects combining a kind of unbound idealism and attention to detail. Designing with challenges or specific targets tease our principal role; creating projects that trigger emotions and influence how people feel spiritually and mentally, connecting people to their feelings and actualities of life, but also not neglecting to “bring to the table” insight into the subtleness of today’s world.

 

X Collective is a bundle of pragmatic idealists, a team of architects in direct collaboration with civil and mechanical engineers, construction managers, lighting designers, landscape designers and real estate experts.
