Hannes Peer

Hannes Peer is an architect and designer from South Tyrol based in Milan. His work, defined by a sophisticated form of eclecticism, blends architectural precision with a deep sensitivity to craftsmanship, materiality, and narrative. After studying at the Politecnico di Milano and the Technical University in Berlin, and working with OMA in Rotterdam and Zvi Hecker in Berlin, he founded Hannes Peer Architecture in 2009. The studio’s portfolio spans hospitality, residential, and product design, always guided by a commitment to context, culture, and emotional depth.

Working across scales—from urban interventions like the Baths of Caracalla masterplan in Rome to residential and hospitality projects in Italy and abroad—Peer’s practice is grounded in craftsmanship and cultural depth. Recent highlights include The Manner hotel in New York’s SoHo and a newly completed hotel in South Tyrol, both reflecting Peer’s ability to weave history and modernity into richly layered experiences. Current projects include chalets in Cervinia, a villa in Puglia, the upcoming Hotel Aurora in Meran, a private villa in South Tyrol, a hotel in Rome, and various residential projects across Italy and abroad.

Since 2024, he has designed sculptural, detail-driven design pieces for global design brands Minotti and Baxter, blending architectural thinking with refined craftsmanship. In parallel, he continues to explore collectible and experimental design through collaborations with design galleries such as Nilufar in Milan and bespoke design brands as SEM, 6:AM and La Chance in Paris.

Peer’s work is defined by a rigorous yet emotional design language—rooted in contrast, material tactility, and a deep engagement with context—earning him regular recognition on the AD100 and the Elle Decor A-List, and establishing him as a singular voice in contemporary design.
