On completing his studies he worked at the studios of the architects Otto Rudolf Salvisberg and William Dunkel.

Returning south, in 1942 he opened his own architectural studio in Lugano, working in association with Bruno Brocchi between 1959 and 1991.

[citation needed] His early work as an independent architect included houses in Cademario (1953) and Sorengo (1957).

Particular attention was paid to the repeating "Swiss Way" ("Weg der Schweiz") Leitmotif that was a feature of this "Expo".

Closer to home, one of his last major projects was the Quartiere Maghetti (1984) in the Ticinese capital, characterized by exposed concrete and dry stone wall facings.
