Meet the team
Studio Transit is a multidisciplinary architectural powerhouse based in Rome. Focused on large-scale sustainable residential and commercial projects, the studio leverages Lumion for the majority of their projects. We had the pleasure of sitting down with architects Miriam Conti and Lorenzo Langella, as they shed light on their distinctive architectural philosophy, sustainable design, and the role Lumion plays in bringing Studio Transit’s vision to life.

Could you sum up the story of Studio Transit to date for us?
Miriam: We just celebrated our 50th anniversary a couple of years ago: the studio was founded in 1972 by four individuals, with Gianni Ascarelli still being at the company as one of our partners. Everything started in Rome, where we’ve significantly influenced the urban landscape – particularly in the southeastern business district. Our early involvement in designing Rome’s underground stations in the 1970s left a lasting impact on the city’s infrastructure.
As of today, we have a diverse portfolio: from residential and office buildings to our ongoing hotel project in the city center, as well as some healthcare-related projects we’re involved in. We’re heavily focused on large-scale projects thanks to our dynamic team. Participating in competitions has also been instrumental for us as we expand into educational and cultural projects around the country.
