Chiara Domenici promoted to Director at our Milan studio

We are delighted to announce that Chiara Domenici has been promoted to Director at our Milan studio.

Chiara joined our Milan studio in 2012 and became an Associate Director in 2015. She undertakes a key role in the management of the studio, with a focus on design quality.

Chiara has been a key figure in several major Chapman Taylor projects in Italy and neighbouring countries, including the Mercati Generali shopping centre project in Rome, the Porte dei Laghi shopping centre in Rescaldina, near Milan, Vicolungo: The Style Outlets near Milan and a major resort design in Croatia.

Chiara studied architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan, with one year spent on an Erasmus programme in Paris. After graduating, she returned to Paris to work for Vasconi Architectes, working for Claude Vasconi, who designed Le Forum des Halles in Paris city centre.

She subsequently joined Renzo Piano’s Genoa studio and stayed there for two-and-a-half years before returning to Milan, where she worked for a couple of different firms before setting up a studio in partnership with a former colleague from her time in Genoa – a venture which lasted for more than seven years, before the financial crisis hit Italy and the company became unsustainable. It was then that Chiara joined Chapman Taylor, in 2012.

Congratulations on this well-deserved promotion, Chiara!
