® 2022–2026 XAARCHIVE STUDIO XAA

Founded in 2022 by architects Nayla Cefarelli and Sofía Lorenzo, XAARCHIVE STUDIO is a Barcelona and Milan–based practice operating at the intersection of architecture, technology, and contemporary culture. The studio approaches space as a living system, where parametric design, material experimentation, and human experience converge to turn abstract concepts into immersive realities.

XAARCHIVE’s methodology is rooted in the curation of experience. Whether through bespoke residential interiors, high-impact retail, or set design, the studio translates complex visions into singular spatial identities. By blending aesthetic intelligence with precision-driven technical execution, the practice bridges the gap between digital innovation and physical presence. From global collaborations with Nike, Oakley, Nude Project, El Santo Barcelona, and Meller, to intimate private projects, the studio delivers environments that are as functional as they are narrative-driven.

The studio has been selected for the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale (2025) and has presented work at international institutions and cultural platforms including the United Nations, FAO (Rome), Dutch Design Week Eindhoven, IAAC Barcelona, Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro, Spazio Serra, REA! Art Fair Milano, Centro Arti Visive Pesaro, CCCB Barcelona, Next Nature Network, Evoluon Design Museum (NL), IUAV Venice, and the Argentine Consulate in Milan.

At XAARCHIVE, the ongoing convergence of digital intelligence and spatial intuition redefines the contemporary environment, constantly pushing the boundaries of how we inhabit space.
