DIEGO BURDI
Creative Director, Burdifilek

As Creative Partner, Diego Burdi brings to the studio a freshness and vision that assures his clients the benefit of innovation. Able to cross-reference influences and circumvent trends, Diego’s design work is eclectic, always morphing, and invariably successful at moving design forward.

A designer who has remained frontline in client liaison, he counts amongst his assets the ability to understand his clients goals, and then creatively translate their vision into three dimensions of immaculately appointed spaces. Noted for his professionalism, well-regarded for his distinctive taste and style, Diego is a world traveller who consciously exposes himself to the life and style of other cultures.

Having enriched his own perspective, Diego brings it back to the world in the form of uniquely honed, considered design. The company assembles a team with ambitious design philosophies for every project it undertakes. Their challenge is to create an iconic development that contributes to the residential landscape of the city.
