Antonella Sciarra is a Global Client Advisor and UK Market Lead for Giraldi Associates Architects (GAA), where she bridges world‑class Italian architectural vision with the commercial realities of the UK real estate market. Her work focuses on aligning premium Italian design with developer, retail, hospitality, and urban‑development needs across the UK, ensuring that architectural ambition translates into measurable asset value and operational efficiency.

As Strategic Director at GAA, Antonella leads the firm’s UK presence across retail, hospitality, and urban development, overseeing feasibility studies, master planning, and integrated design‑to‑delivery workflows. She advises developers on how design impacts valuation, ROI, and long‑term asset positioning, operating under an independent mandate that allows her to integrate Italian design excellence with direct‑to‑manufacturer procurement when required.

In parallel, she serves as Head of Business Development UK for the Giulio Tanini Group, acting as a direct‑to‑source procurement gateway for premium Italian surfaces, interiors, and materials. Her role includes supply‑chain transparency, ESG‑compliant fit‑out coordination, and specialist sourcing that gives UK developers direct access to Italian manufacturing without intermediaries.

Antonella’s career is defined by her ability to eliminate inefficiencies, protect design integrity, and create seamless bridges between Italian manufacturing ecosystems and UK delivery frameworks. She works closely with developers, architects, and global retailers who require a strategic partner capable of uniting visionary architecture with commercial pragmatism.

She holds a degree from the University of Science and Technology of China, adding a cross‑cultural academic foundation to her international professional profile.
