The shape of a vision for design, architecture, landscape and territory
ZITOMORI is the architecture and design practice founded in 1996 by Hikaru Mori and Maurizio Zito, based in Milan and Avellino, Italy.
The objective of ZITOMORI’s work is to give shape to a vision, responding to complex programs at any scale, offering integrated approach to design, architecture, landscape and territory.
By considering each project as unique, with its own diversity, through a process of dialogue, research and analysis ZITOMORI reaches the intuition to achieve the specific and tangible design, challenging experimentation in contemporary architecture.

/ April 7 2020
Maurizio Zito, my beloved half and co-founder of ZITOMORI, passed away suddenly of a heart attack on Tuesday, April 7, 2020.
A gentle, intelligent and tender man, he found the equilibrium for things being light and graceful.
Our pain is immense, but one thing is certain: continuously creating, he lived life to it’s full in love to give.
