STUDIO GIULIANA SALMASO is an architectural atelier dedicated to the creation of restorative spaces. Bringing value to people and places is at the core of our work. Led by Giuliana Salmaso, the firm champions a culture of creative inquiry and collaboration, grounded in a foundation of mutual respect.

Why In an increasingly chaotic world, we champion the generative power of pausing. Embracing both wisdom and science, we know that silence and inner calmness are the essential foundations for regeneration—empowering the mind to reset, refocus, and reimagine what’s possible, while thinking anew.

What We manifest this intention by crafting science-backed restorative spaces for the hospitality, care, retail, residential and workplace sectors—environments designed to align with the body’s natural rhythms. By creating retreats of calmness, we enable the nervous system to transition from ‘rev’ to ‘restore,’ fostering measurable de-stressing and deep renewal.

How The practice approach is grounded in the evidence that personal and planetary wellbeing are interconnected and interdependent, and in the science of restorativeness and E.O. Wilson’s biophilia. Each project starts by listening to the dreams and needs of the client and by looking at the history, culture and topography of the land. We work with an open mind, projects unfold from a healthy process and dialogue with both people and place.

We are driven by the concern for the growing disconnection within ourselves, one another, and nature—our collective home. We recognize that human spiritual and psychophysiological wellbeing suffers when we lose our bond with ‘Mother Earth’ and the greater cosmos; therefore, we design spaces that act as a conduit for reconnection—to nature, to the universe, and to each other.

“We create spaces that calm the mind and honor our innate connection to all that is.” Giuliana Salmaso
