Our Team.
Stephen Bianchi
Founding Partner, AIA. Stephen’s background in the construction industry and passion to create wonderful spaces are the foundation of his design approach. After graduating from Auburn University Stephen began his career in Atlanta, GA at the office of BLUR Workshop focused on a series of large scale hospitality projects throughout the Southeast.
Stephen’s passion for his work drove the formation of Bianchi Architecture with the purpose of developing client based design solutions, whether development focused or for personal use. At the macro scale, his work focuses on creating a comprehensive process of vision casting/goal setting, collaboration with all parties to a project, and thoughtful documentation to transform client goals to built reality. At a micro scale, each project poses unique challenges in client, context, and program. This requires creative design solutions to satisfy goals and harmonize with aesthetic aspirations to set the desired look and feel for the project. This ability to balance aesthetics, function, and technical requirements are what enable Stephen’s thoughtful design solutions to be tuned to each clients needs and development goals.
Outside the office, Stephen’s love of travel takes him across the globe, furthering his study of architecture and urban environments in each new locale. He furthers his craft through the design and fabrication of custom furniture, and occasionally finds time to hit well above par on the golf course.
Julia Bianchi
Founding Partner, Interior Designer. Julia began her career in Nashville, TN upon graduating from the University of Tennessee. Shortly thereafter, she relocated to Atlanta where she joined the office of BLUR Workshop, embarking on numerous complex hospitality interior renovations and new-builds.
Julia’s attention to detail and desire to create a stunning design is exceptional. Her comittment to each project begins with a concept study and immersement into the local scene of your project, taking historical, cultural, contextual, and social cues to inspire and influence the design. Thoughtful design studies are accompanied by powerful imagery and budgeting tools to help determine and define the project scope early in the design process.
With such a friendly demeanor and solid technical knowledge, Julia easily connects with the entirety of your project team to ensure design elements are coordinated between disciplines.
Outside of the office, Julia enjoys writing, cycling, hiking, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. She loves finding local treasures, and will give you a run for your money in a game of Top Golf.
