Italian Design Workshop

We met Francesco back in 2021. We have entrusted him to help us and guide us in the renovation of our two apartments. Francesco has many connections with different general contractors and specialty contractors. With his passion and expertise, he has helped us to find quality and affordable windows (including shutters and screens) and heating/cooling specialists. My husband and I just returned from our beloved home in Cinaglio, and we cannot say enough about the workmanship in the renovations of our home. Francesco has gone above and beyond to help us, and we appreciate all he has done and continues to do.
I have known and worked with Francesco (founder of Italian Design Workshop) for a couple of years now. What started as a chance encounter, has become a wonderful journey together in regards to my first purchase of an overseas property as a US citizen residing in New York. Francesco is extremely honest and approachable, which encouraged me to move forward on the transaction. The process itself has been facilitated seamlessly to the very last detail. I have an extremely busy work schedule and I have an enormous amount of confidence in Francesco's ability to manage the entire process for me. He constantly keeps me abreast of the things I need to know about and makes it as easy as possible for me to make decisions when my input is required. He has also suggested alternatives for cost savings, in order for me to keep the costs within budget. I highly recommend Italian Design Workshop and I know that Francesco and I will have a lasting friendship, long after my dream of having an apartment in Italy comes to fruition. I hope to purchase another property in the future and I take solace in knowing I have such a valuable resource I can turn to.
I met Francesco through BNI which is an internationally active business networking organization to which we both belong. Integrity and doing what you say you will do are two of that organization's guiding principles. Therefore, I knew when I first met Francesco, that he would be an honest, responsible, diligent, creative professional. We met and talked - and I heard about his teamwork skills and longtime associations with contractors and project management. At that very moment in time, working for myself as an architect in NYC, I was looking for a collaborative associate to handle CAD drafting and site supervision on a couple of residential projects. I was delighted when someone with Francesco's depth of experience was open to the idea of working together. I have found him to be a reliable colleague who delivers on deadline, and follows through on details. He is good at talking to all the people on a job to ensure they are doing their best work. He knows where to put his energy and focus so that progress doesn't get bogged down. His attention to detail and design creativity contributed greatly to the success of the projects we have worked on together. I look forward to working with him again and again.
Francesco has collaborated with me on our clients’ residential projects over several years. He has been invaluable on design and construction documents and has provided good suggestions on improving designs and details. He is diligent in his work and is a pleasure to work with.
