Bruno Cicero

Head of Facades

Chartered Engineer (Italy), LEED AP BD+C, Passive House Certified Designer

Bruno Cicero is a building engineer specialising in façade design, building physics and sustainable environmental performance. Chartered in Italy and accredited as a LEED AP BD+C and Passive House Certified Designer, he brings a rare combination of technical rigour, analytical capability and design sensitivity to the built environment. His expertise spans thermal bridging analysis, energy modelling, comfort assessments, advanced 3D modelling and digital design workflows, enabling him to bridge the gap between architectural intent and high‑performance building envelopes.

Bruno’s career has taken him from London to Italy, working with leading international practices including AKT II Envelopes and HOK. At AKT II he contributed to complex façade packages for major global projects, collaborating closely with architects and multidisciplinary teams on schemes in the UK, the Middle East and the United States. Since 2021 he has been a Building Physics, Envelope Design and Sustainability Specialist at Eupro, where he led technical detailing, environmental analysis and performance‑driven design across civic, cultural, healthcare and research facilities. His academic background includes a Master of Building Engineering from the University of Catania, an MSc in Environmental Design of Buildings from the Welsh School of Architecture, and specialist training through the FACE façade engineering programme.

Work

Bruno has contributed to a wide range of projects requiring deep technical understanding of façade systems, environmental performance and sustainable design. His work at Eupro includes major public and institutional buildings across Italy, such as biomedical research facilities, police stations, healthcare centres, cultural hubs and civic infrastructure. He has been responsible for schematic and detailed design, site supervision and the integration of building physics principles into architectural and engineering solutions.

During his time at AKT II Envelopes in London, Bruno worked on high‑profile international projects including The Red Sea Project – Ummahat Island, the Ismaili Center in Houston, 1 Broadgate in London, the Millennium Building retrofit and the Baker Street redevelopment. His contributions spanned RIBA Stages 1–3, focusing on façade performance, technical detailing and environmental optimisation. Earlier experience at HOK London exposed him to large‑scale academic projects for Kuwait University, where he supported schematic design for major educational facilities.

Across all his work, Bruno demonstrates a strong command of envelope design, environmental simulation and sustainable performance strategies. His ability to combine technical precision with architectural understanding positions him as a valuable contributor to projects seeking high‑quality, energy‑efficient and resilient building solutions.
