Architect and Interior Designer 

Giovanna Santoro

My works

Through years of practice across multiple continents—including Hong Kong, China, Italy, Spain, Korea, and India—I have refined a design approach that balances creativity, functionality, and cultural sensitivity. This selection highlights my ability to adapt to diverse contexts and client needs, from designing over 300 Starbucks stores across the Asia-Pacific region to shaping residential, office, and hospitality spaces. Each project is a testament to my dedication to quality, innovation, and meaningful design solutions.
