OUR PROFILES
Davide Pontoni
Davide graduated at the Polytechnic University of Milan in 2012, with a MSc degree in architecture.
After his studies he worked in Copenhagen for the Danish practice COBE until 2013. During this experience he had the opportunity to improve his skills on the design process and gain a wider understanding of town-planning.
In 2014 Davide moved to London and worked for for dRMM Architects and Hawkins Brown, where he built up his knowledge on housing, infrastructure and large scale projects.
Parallel to architecture Davide develops a strong passion for writing and storytelling, which became part of Zeronove's design approach.
Since Davide nurtures a vivid interest for economy and finance, and has always been keen in understanding the 'wider picture' beyond architectural design, in 2019 he switched to project management and since then he is leading Zeronove's real-estate and property development activities.
