Hey! I am Filipe — born in Brazil 🇧🇷, with Italian roots 🇮🇹, and currently based in the UK 🇬🇧.

Let me take you on a little journey.
It is the story of how Rigolon Studio came to life — but more than that, it is the story of a quiet dream that has been with me for years.

Ever since I was a kid, I have been fascinated by design.
I remember spending hours admiring the details of Apple’s gadgets — especially the iPod Nano 3rd Gen. That smooth Cover Flow scrolling, the satisfying click of the wheel, the perfectly thin body. That was not just tech. That was design. Moving, breathing design. And it stirred something in me.

At the same time, I was growing more and more curious about buildings. I would always notice how materials were put together, how sunlight hit a wall, or how shapes interacted in a space.
Design made me feel. Construction made me think. Architecture brought both worlds together.

When the time came to choose a degree, I was torn: Architecture or Civil Engineering?
In the end, I went for Engineering — I loved physics, and I wanted to understand how things really work. I do not regret it. That choice grounded me with structure, discipline, and technical insight that still shapes how I see the world today.

After graduating, I dove into something that, looking back, was a turning point. I started working closely with architecture and architectural visualisation — often handling nearly the entire process.
I would produce the general arrangement drawings in AutoCAD, model and visualise the spaces in 3D, and, in many cases, even take on the role of site technician — supervising the actual construction works on site. It was intense. But it was real.
That hands-on experience taught me how ideas evolve from lines on a screen into built reality.
And more importantly, it taught me how much I love being part of that journey — from concept to creation.

Later, after moving to the UK, I joined a company that brought everything together: architecture, interior design, and construction.
That is when things started to click in a new way.
I realised I did not have to pick one path over the other — I could blend all three.
The precision of engineering, the beauty of architecture, and the emotional connection I found in visualisation. They all lived in me.

And so, Rigolon Studio was born —
A small, independent studio built with soul and curiosity.
Where every image is made with care, and every project is a chance to bring ideas to life before they are even built.

Because for me, architectural visualisation has always felt like more than a service.
It is a way to tell stories.
It is where my passions meet. Our Mission:
