ALPEAS is a structural engineering firm specializing in high-end timber engineering solutions, with a dedicated focus on the design of modern, high-performance new buildings. Founded in 2021 by engineers Davide Canetti and Elia Paletti, whose long-standing friendship brought them together professionally, ALPEAS has grown into a dynamic and innovative company with a forward-looking vision. Based in Storo (Trento, Italy), in the heart of the Dolomites, and with a strategic presence in Zurich, our team provides specialized services to companies, architectural firms, and public-sector organizations.

The studio specializes in detailed structural design, with a strong focus on execution and constructability. Originally founded with a dedicated expertise in timber structures, we have since expanded our activity to steel and reinforced concrete, while wood remains at the core of our practice. Our core strength lies in the executive and construction design phases. We believe that technical precision is found in the details; therefore, we dedicate significant resources to developing comprehensive construction drawings, including all custom structural components.

We focus our know-how on structural optimization by integrating parametric workflows into our design process. This allows us to computationally explore and refine multiple structural configurations, ensuring the most efficient geometry, maximum material savings, and seamless integration with complex architectural forms. The team boasts numerous collaborations with leading companies in the sector and has contributed to significant projects on a national and international scale, including schools, theatres, sports facilities, large-span roofs, and multi-story buildings. ALPEAS also collaborates with the Timber Research Group of the University of Trento on the analysis of structural standards (Eurocodes) and with CNR-IBE on the development of innovative structural components specifically engineered for timber structures.
