Designing buildings to improve quality of life
At Alessandro Caruso Architects, our mission is to design buildings that improve people's wellbeing through sustainable design. We are an award-winning architectural and interior design practice, specialising in healthcare design, with expertise that extends to the commercial, education, and residential sectors. Our talented team of designers and architects in Hull are committed to people-centric, sustainable designs that enhance lives.
Our History
Whilst studying Architecture, Alessandro Caruso, ACA's co-founder, survived an almost fatal motorbike accident. Consequently, he spent 6 months confined to a hospital bed in a noisy and poorly-designed environment. Whilst recovering and grateful for a second chance, Alessandro discovered empathic skills, developing a genuine interest in healing architecture. Frequent hospital visits provided opportunities to meet clinicians, allowing Alessandro to seek insights into their profession. This became a catalyst for his passion in design for wellbeing. As a result, ACA's mission is to design buildings that improve lives, with an emphasis on sustainability.
