DESIGNER
ATELIER MADREMATERIA
MadreMateria is a research and experimentation workshop born to continue the experience gained in the enhancement of Pantelleria’s architectural and landscape heritage, giving voice to the creative and holistic vision of Elena Pancaldi, architect and designer, who has been an islander by adoption for over twenty years.
Graduated in Architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1997, she opened ELENAPANCALDISTUDIO in Modena where she lives and works, leading a team composed of architects, designers, landscapers, and graphic designers engaged in predominantly residential architecture projects, luxury retail, hospitality, landscape, and collectible design.
Over time, a series of site-specific works studied for Pantelleria have encouraged the development of a very personal approach to the themes of recovering Pantelleria’s vernacular architecture and preserving the spirit of the place.
