meet OUR partner baci!

Sharing a sweet story about our Partner BACI (which means Kisses in Italian) ... On the day we brought her home from Second Chance & Happy Tails Rescue, we took this photo of her next to a HUG pillow. Looking at it a few weeks later, after we finally named her, we realized that this is a picture of a HUG and a Kiss!

 Cheers to PUPPY LOVE!

about gus

Gus inherited his talent from his father, an Architect Engineer in Italy, who introduced Gus to the world of architecture as a young boy.
Years later, when Gus returned to Rome, as an established Architect,
we were moved by the striking resemblance of his own work to that of his Dad’s.

Prior to starting Morpurgo Architects, he had been responsible for Major Institutional Projects for NYC and NY State Agencies,
Universities and Hospitals, as an Associate Partner at Armand Bartos.

Gus' experience as the Architect for Princeton University digs in Sicily and Turkey has given him a deep understanding
of the history of architecture that he brings to every project. In fact, drawing the cities at excavation sites,
while working alongside archeologists as they discovered remnants, has led to Gus' seamless renovations that Transform the original design.

Over the years, our architects have said it best,
as evidenced in Architect Heidi Kleinman’s Google review of Gus:

“Gus possesses the characteristics other architects admire in those who practice architecture.  
There is a deliberate thoughtfulness to his approach to design.  
He simultaneously grasps the client’s programmatic goals, the contractor’s practical goals, and the passions of an artist:
bringing beauty to the built environment.”
