Luigi Rosselli

[2] Coming from a long line of engineers,[3] he studied architecture at the Ecole Politechnique Federale in Lausanne, where he met Alvaro Siza and Mario Botta, who offered Rosselli a job in 1979.

When he founded his Sydney practice in 1985, he developed a ritual of showing his freehand design concept sketches using black felt pens and white Tipp Ex (correcting fluid) on translucent yellow tracing paper, torn from small rolls.

[2] His approach to architecture is "humanist, where people and environment take precedence over preconceived design dogmas"[7] and his main concern is designing for the humans: for their daily lives, for the human senses, for the psychology of the users, to create a sense of comfort and satisfaction and aiming for the "Architecture of Happiness"[8]Family homes like The Books House, which is a series of stacked terrace platforms following the steep sandstone topography of Sydney's northern shore.

[21][22] Luigi Rosselli Architects is a carbon neutral practice applying sustainable building practises, as demonstrated by their expertise in rammed earth, air-conditioning-free spaces and energy efficiency.

[20] Other award winning projects include, the Triplex Apartments,[23] Homage to Oscar,[24][25][26] Heritage Treasure Chest[27] In 2015, Luigi Rosselli published a compilation of his hand drawn designs.
