Peter Cotroneo

I'm a cartographer and mathematician. My artwork focuses on documenting the architectural geometry and cadastral history of the world’s most prestigious urban districts.

I founded Coatue Studio to provide a more rigorous, data-driven alternative to the traditional decorative map. By isolating individual parcel boundaries and structural footprints, I create what I call "Technical Property Studies"—archival portraits of urban form that capture the unique land-use patterns of global cities.

I'm a Fellow of both the Royal Geographical Society and the Geological Society of London. My practice is rooted in a career spent at the highest levels of geospatial intelligence, having led geospatial projects at NASA, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Ordnance Survey.

My growing library provides hospitality, workplace and residential designers with data-driven artworks inspired by the geometry of place. I also offer a bespoke service to map the specific coordinates of a client’s property, creating an intellectual centerpiece that documents the unique geographic history of a specific site.

I hold a Master’s in Geography and a BS in Mathematics. I'm currently based in the UK with roots in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
