Studio Didea (Studio DiDeA) is an architecture and design studio founded in Palermo in 2012, with an additional office in Malta. The firm brings a minimalist aesthetic to residential and adaptive reuse projects, deeply influenced by the Mediterranean context, urban fabric, and light. Their design approach prioritizes proportion, material integrity, and simplicity—crafting spaces that feel both refined and rooted in place.
The studio is committed to sustainability and environmental sensitivity, guided by close collaboration with clients and artisans throughout the design and construction process. Signature projects—like Casa Origami, Casa #A223, and the “one-euro house” renovation in Sambuca—highlight Studio Didea’s talent for transforming heritage environments with contemporary clarity and purpose, balancing historical resonance with minimalist precision.
