Studio

More than a designer, a true partner.

PL-Arch is a bespoke architecture and interior design practice, established in June 2023, working across Switzerland, Tuscany, France and Devon. We take a small number of private commissions each year.

The number is deliberate. It is what allows Pierre to be present at every site visit, in every difficult conversation, and at each decision that will still matter in twenty years.

CEO - Founder

Pierre Longhini

Born in Milan to a French and Italian family, Pierre has lived in Italy, France, Singapore, Switzerland and England, and trained at London Metropolitan University. He worked with Mario Botta, Ittenbrechbuehl and Aubert Architectes in Switzerland, and with Grimshaw and One Works in London, before founding PL-Arch.

Outside the studio he gives his time to three things, music, art, and wine, the last of which made him a Chevalier du Tastevin de Bourgogne and an Ambassador of the Climats of Burgundy. The first of them is not a pastime that sits beside the work. A room can be beautiful in a photograph and still be too noisy to live in.
