About

I am Luca Matta, an experienced Senior Architect and design leader with more than 27 years in developing stores, exhibitions, mixed-use and civil architecture. I have consistently earned praise from clients, partners, and engineering offices for large-scale projects in Italy, Asia, and the Emirates. I lead multidisciplinary teams to deliver successful projects, including complex assignments still in development, and I provide high-end interior and exhibition design solutions with a focus on sustainable and balanced redevelopment across cultures. My work spans residential, museums, and commercial installations, and I have collaborated closely with government and major technology groups in China, including Huawei, TCL, Midea, Oppo, Hisense, and more; I have led major tenders such as the Beijing Horticulture Expo 2019, the Nanjing Museum, and the Wuhan Metro Museum (12,000 m2).

I am passionate about connecting East and West through architecture and design, comfortable in diverse markets and cultural contexts. I bring a hands-on approach to architecture, interior design, and product design, and I enjoy mentoring teams and sharing knowledge across regions.
