Matteo Thun & Partners

Operating from Milan and Munich, Matteo Thun & Partners creates lakefront resorts and hospitality lounges characterized by terrain-integrated green roofs, direct waterfront thresholds, and vibrant interior interventions set against restrained architectural shells. This work serves as a precise reference when detailing the seamless transition between landform contours and activated fifth facades, or when specifying bold color-blocked furnishings with flush technical integration for high-end reception spaces.
