Luigi Vitalini, AIA, a native of Rome, Italy and a second-generation architect, was raised in Miami and graduated from the University of Miami School of Architecture in 1987. Licensed since 1992, his architectural approach emphasizes the integration of natural materials and the accentuation of design with soul and essence. This reflects in his dedication to thoughtful, community-enhancing projects and urban planning initiatives.

Holding LEED accreditation, he has contributed his expertise to organizations like the Coral Gables Board of Architects and the South Miami Environmental Review Board.

In 2020, Vitalini Architects broadened its scope by launching Nova Domus www.ndmiami.com, a construction management company to enhance service quality and efficiency. This integration improves project coordination, streamlines timelines, and tightens cost control. “By overseeing every phase, from design to construction, the firm ensures the client’s vision is realized with exceptional quality,” Vitalini emphasized. This approach also offers clients a seamless, single-point-of-contact experience, fostering stronger relationships and trust.
