Where Heritage Meets Imagination
Blending Heritage, Craftsmanship, And Contemporary Elegance
More Than Restoration — A Philosophy of Place
Esplendido Design is not simply a development firm — we are storytellers of space. Rooted in Lecce, the heart of Southern Italy, we specialize in reviving architectural treasures and crafting homes that celebrate beauty, authenticity, and timelessness.
Our vision is grounded in craftsmanship and soul. Every space we design is a dialogue between past and present — where the textures of time meet modern refinement.
Crafted With Purpose, Guided By Passion
At Esplendido Design, we uncover the forgotten beauty of Southern Italy’s historic homes and breathe new life into them — turning ruins into refined residences.
We see each project as a balance of art and logistics: a fusion of heritage and innovation, local materials and international taste. From sourcing the right property to managing every detail of its transformation, we offer a fully guided, deeply personal experience.
With a passion for design, a reverence for history, and a commitment to excellence, we don’t just restore — we reimagine.
The Duo Behind Esplendido Design
We are a French-British couple brought together by a love for architecture, design, and the soulful beauty of Southern Italy.
She, from the UK, is an experienced interior designer with an eye for elegance, materiality, and atmosphere.
He, from France, brings real estate savvy and project management expertise shaped by years of transforming properties across Europe.
Together, we founded Esplendido Design with a shared vision: to revive the charm of Southern Italy’s forgotten spaces and turn them into curated, livable works of art.
