Mazza first joined the firm in 2006, lending his design expertise to projects including the Indian wellness spa Ananda in the Sahyadris, the Fairmont Taghazout Bay in Morocco, and the recently opened South Kensington Club in London. His predecessor Luis Zapiain will relocate to the company’s Dallas headquarters.
Mazza’s past experience includes architecture work on the seminal headquarters and factory for luxury car manufacturer Bugatti near Modena, Italy.
