Rita Fabiano

Project Director

An architect and interior designer with strong experience across high-end residential, clubhouse, sales office, and hospitality projects, Rita has built much of her career in Shanghai, leading projects in close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. Her work is grounded in creativity, clarity, and spatial storytelling, with a strong focus on shaping distinctive environments that feel both refined and experience-driven.

Her background in architecture is complemented by a scenographic sensibility, informed by opera and a thesis in scenography that was published at the Venice Biennale. Over the years, she has contributed to award-recognized work, including projects acknowledged by Architizer A+ Awards, The Plan Award, and the Asia Pacific Property Awards. Rita brings a thoughtful, concept-led approach to design, paired with the experience to carry ideas forward into compelling, well-resolved outcomes.
