As a third-generation architect, Matt’s design education and training were instrumental in different ways to provide macro and micro experiences. He adopted the practice of ‘serious fun,’ an expression that integrates intense design rigor with a unifying, collegial process.

As CEO and President of ROSSETTI, Matt believes architecture and design must move beyond the parameters of form and function. To apply this philosophy to his practice, he created a highly prescriptive technique of discovery to unlock the project vision and value proposition for clients.

At the forefront of data analytics, Matt’s Return on Design process forms the basis for defining the feasibility of each project. This strategic design methodology has led to highly innovative and transformative projects.

 

Amy Chesterton is an urban planning partner with ROSSETTI. She has experience leading strategic real estate development, mixed-use districts, urban infill, adaptive reuse, institutional, and strategic planning projects.

Her creative, grounded approach ensures plans and initiatives are implementable with widespread community support.

She is a powerhouse of creative urban planning and an inspiring team leader, melding design and economic development to create plans for highly livable, vibrant, successful and sustainable communities.
