Unlocking the Potential of Built Environments
As a Research Associate in Workplace Management at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, I contribute to Research & Development for companies and institutions as well as I partecipate in teaching at the Bachelor in Facility Management and the Master in Real Estate & Facility Management.
Thanks to around twenty years of experience as Architect and Interior designer, I specialized in the development of headquarters, high-end hospitality and retail. My goals are expressing the client's identity through Interior Branding and maximising the potential of every environment. I favour an eclectic lakeside vibe aiming to regenerative and inspiring atmospheres.

«Era il settembre 2015 quando è nato il nostro studio ortodontico di Via Peri a Lugano per mano dell'eccellente architetto Carla Iurilli. Da allora il suo disegno leggero, i suoi colori, la sua programmazione digitale e soprattutto i suoi flussi interni di movimento tra gli spazi sono stati pubblicati su più riviste di settore specialistiche per l'architettura. Oggi ancora una volta abbiamo avuto il piacere di vedere la nostra sala d'attesa alle origini comparire su un giornale d'architettura ad alta tiratura. Il complimento più bello e più frequente che ci fanno i pazienti è "non sembra uno studio dentistico"».
P. Merlo, Owner, Studio Ortodontico Lugano
«Ms. Iurilli had extensive experience in her field of responsibility and especially we would like to highlight her valuable specialist skills. [..] She understood it very well to think about the high complexity of our projects and was able to achieve very good solutions even in difficult situations».
K. Marangoni, Director, Santiago Calatrava Architects & Engineers, Zurich
«Carla Iurilli ha raccolto numerose attestazioni di stima da studenti e colleghi e ho avuto occasione di apprezzarne le capacità organizzative, la proattività nel proporre stimoli culturali, sociali e tecnici, la conduzione delle revisioni agli studenti attraverso il solido approccio metodologico al processo e al progetto, il pragmatismo nell'introdurre gli studenti alle sfide dell'attività professionale».
Schiaffonati, Professor, Politecnico di Milano
