BRINGING CALMNESS TO YOUR EVERYDAY
STUDIO GIULIANA SALMASO is a design firm dedicated to creating science-based restorative spaces. These are places designed to reduce stress and anxiety and promote psychophysical well-being, including mental clarity, emotional balance and vitality.
Its body of work merges the art of designing with the principles of biophilia and restorativeness, the science of how human beings respond to the qualities of the natural and built environment. By integrating design with science, the built environment can significantly contribute to the optimum well-being of its occupants.
Guided by the evidence that “restorative spaces drive well-being”, the firm develops the philosophy of wellness into the design of the built environment.
STUDIO GIULIANA SALMASO is committed to bring the most effective design solution to the wellness-needs of individuals and corporations worldwide.

“For as long as I can remember I had the dream of merging architecture with my passion for holistic wellness to create spaces effectively nurturing people’s wellbeing. After diving deep into the oriental teachings and into the science of biophilia and restorativeness, today I feel proud of what I can offer to my clients. STUDIO GIULIANA SALMASO creates science-based spaces that are a pleasure for the senses where people feel calm, renewed and want to go back to.”
