Francesca Diano architect is a design practice based in Italy and the UK.
We are surrounded by architecture and we are an active part of a space:every project is about imagining the optimal arrangement in a space of possibilities and situations. However, design is more than just functional response: everybody deserves beauty, not in the sense of luxury, but as a balance between light, shadow, emotion and time. Every intervention, no matter how small, can change the quality of our life.

Facing a space whose layout and finishes are pre-determined and non-negotiable might seem like an insurmountable challenge. However, it is precisely in such situations that the expertise of a professional becomes pivotal.
On the first hill of Turin, we worked on a newly completed villa, employing colors, furnishings, lighting, fabrics, and custom wood paneling to transform the plain environment into welcoming and distinctive spaces. The approach highlighted the villa’s strengths while concealing its flaws.
Shades of green, inspired by the external window frames, and warm hues of ochre and earthy tones, in harmony with the wooden flooring, echo throughout the four floors of the house. These colours interplay with contrasts and subtle variations, creating a cohesive visual narrative. A new custom-designed boiserie redefines the first-floor landing, discreetly concealing a new walk-in closet while introducing the sleeping quarters. Dark accessories and furnishings act as playful elements and spatial accents, adding character and depth.
