About Phasezero Design Studio
Phasezero is a London-based architecture and interior design studio working on high-end residential projects, listed buildings, and historic restoration across the UK, Italy, and Spain.
The practice is deliberately small. The people who start a project are the people who finish it. Every decision stays in the same conversation from first brief to final handover.
A small practice, built around experience and trust.

Lisa - Founder · Design Director
Lisa Gentile founded Phasezero in 2019 after studying architecture at IUAV in Venice and working in construction in London. She is an SBID member.
Her experience sits between architecture and construction. She leads the design of every project and remains closely involved throughout — from early feasibility and planning through architectural design, interiors, and construction.
Her particular focus is existing buildings: complex full house refurbishments, listed properties, and projects where architectural thinking and construction have to work as one. She does not separate the look of a space from the structure that holds it.

Flavia - Interior Designer
Lisa and Flavia first met while studying at the Artistic High School in Naples. Their paths took them in different directions — Flavia developed her career in interior design and worked in Barcelona before joining Phasezero.
Flavia brings a strong interior design perspective to the studio: spaces, materials, colour palettes, and the details that turn an architectural framework into a finished environment. She works closely with Lisa so that architecture and interiors develop as one project rather than as consecutive stages.

Rino - Structural Engineer
Rino became part of Phasezero's Italian network while Lisa was working on historic restoration projects in Italy. His local knowledge, construction experience, and team on the ground make it possible for the studio to take on Italian projects while staying closely involved in their development.
For projects involving historic buildings, complex refurbishment, or remote locations, having a trusted team on the ground is not optional. Rino and his team coordinate local trades and construction, and help turn the design into reality.

Max - Contractor
Max's role goes beyond building what has been drawn. Construction rarely follows a drawing exactly: existing buildings reveal unexpected conditions, dimensions change, and details sometimes have to be resolved differently once they reach site.
Max has a particular ability to find practical solutions without losing the design intent. Working together means that design and construction stay in the same conversation throughout. His involvement on Mill Lane — including the structural discoveries uncovered during demolition — is a direct example of what that looks like in practice.

Anna - Procurement Director
Anna oversees procurement across the studio's projects. From sourcing materials and furniture to coordinating suppliers, managing orders, and tracking the hundreds of decisions behind a finished interior, she brings structure to the procurement process.
Her involvement means that the decisions made during design are properly carried through to delivery. Nothing gets lost between specification and site.

A Wider Network of Specialists
Complex projects require more than one discipline. Depending on the project, Phasezero works with structural engineers, building services consultants, planning and heritage specialists, contractors, craftspeople, joiners, and stone specialists.
The team is built around the building and the brief, not the other way around.
