Luigi Rosselli Architects is a Sydney practice based in Surry Hills that takes "a humanist approach to architecture and design", aiming to create sympathetic buildings that flow and appeal. Architect Luigi Rosselli studied in Switzerland and spent time in New York before starting his own practice in Sydney in 1984, and brings more than three decades of international experience.

Renowned for houses, residential architecture, adaptive re-use and heritage designs, the studio has worked on projects from offices and factories to libraries, wineries, childcare centres and chapels. It is a carbon-neutral practice, with expertise in rammed earth, air-conditioning-free spaces and energy efficiency, and works from a purpose-built studio, 'The Beehive', realised with Raffaello Rosselli's RdotR studio.

On Lunchbox, Loggia in Arcadia adds to a Gothic Revival villa in Paddington, hidden between rows of terraces with an unusually large garden. A new loggia clad in finely detailed shutters and cantilevered timber sits above an off-form concrete wall, in dialogue with the original Victorian veranda without imitating it.
