Brief description

Architrend Architecture is an architecture firm that approaches design as an interdisciplinary venture where minimum form takes maximum effect.

The entire project is considered starting from client's needs as well as site and environment exploration through all design process, from initial concept to construction phase, to design and build high quality and value added architecture, built as figured it out in the design process.

Starting from 1989 the two partners Gaetano Manganello and Carmelo Tumino design and build public buildings, resorts and single family houses with a contemporary minimalist and direct approach.

To house their new office Manganello and Tumino had designed themselves a building for their headquarter in an area of urban sprawl on the outskirts of Ragusa in the south eastern portion of Sicily where they live and work.
