Doce Design Studio LLC, designs elegant, modern homes that reflect the kind of life that makes you truly happy while taking into account the site’s unique conditions. The studio’s founder, Stephano Butto, comes from a diverse background in music composition, visual arts, virtual media, and writing. His curiosity and passion for problem-solving matured into the studio’s current design process. Doce believes architecture to be the intersection of all the arts, therefore ingenuity and inspiration serve as pivotal axes that transform each project into attainable, buildable and ecological architecture.

For Doce, the client is vital. He comes on the journey and challenges their thinking; together they look for the opportunities that would otherwise be overlooked. Their best projects are the ones that allow them to ask themselves the following question:

“How can we make life better through design?”

Stephano received his Master of Architecture degree from Florida International University in 2014, graduating also with studies in Architectural Art, Theory, and Criticism along with extensive studies in Urban and Sustainable Design while living in Genoa, Italy.

He finds himself spending most of his time throughout different Latin American countries gathering experiences that are reflected in each single one of his designs.
