Continentale is an architectural practice based in Zurich, founded by Giulio Galasso and Natalia Voroshilova.
We design spaces for everyday life, creating joyful atmospheres that embrace the complexity of each situation. Our projects are open, inclusive compositions which make room for a plurality of voices.
Alongside our practice, we are actively engaged in teaching and research. Natalia Voroshilova is a PhD student at Politecnico di Torino and academic guest at ETH Zurich, where she works on the postwar Siedlungen of Zurich, their history, transformation and densification, while Giulio Galasso teaches and researches at the Bern University of Applied Sciences.
Our work has been exhibited at Haus der Architektur Graz, Belgrade Architecture Week, and the Biennale Svizzera del Territorio and we have lectured at several universities across Europe, including TU Delft, FAUP Porto, AAM Mendrisio, and ENSA Paris-Val de Seine.
