Before we design anything, we understand what your property actually allows — legally, structurally, financially. Tell us about your project.
You have a property to transform.
You want it done right. Once.
Architecte et ingénieur DPLG · Grasse, Côte d'Azur
A poorly managed renovation costs twice.
Not just in budget — in time lost, in blocked permits, in work that has to be redone.
Most owners arrive with a clear idea of what they want. Few have a complete reading of what their property actually allows — structurally, legally, energetically.
That is where we come in. Before the drawings. Before the contractors. Before decisions that are difficult to reverse.
We read the property before we design.
Every property has its own logic. A structure that determines what can be touched. Constraints that define what can be built. A potential that only a dual reading — architectural and technical — can reveal.
Daimon Design brings both together. Architect and engineer DPLG: structure, thermal performance, planning and design read together, by a single point of contact.
From the initial analysis through to site delivery, we maintain continuity under one governance — from feasibility to execution drawings, through to full completion.
For Italian owners acquiring in France, or French clients with properties in Italy: we operate within both regulatory systems, registered with both professional orders.
How we work.
1 — Initial analysis
Structural, regulatory and heritage reading of the property. We understand what your property allows before proposing anything.
2 — Feasibility and strategy
What is possible, what is achievable within your timeline and your budget.
3 — Design and planning approvals
Drawings, planning consent, prior declaration. Every line is grounded in what we have read.
4 — Delivery and coordination
Site management, contractor coordination, CasaClima supervision where applicable. We stay until the end.
Renovation without demolition. A pigeonnier reduced to an anecdote, revealed as the architectural and distributive pivot of the entire house. Project currently under construction.
Timber architecture in a protected landscape context. RE2020, energy performance, high-end rental investment. Planning consent obtained.
Renovation without demolition. A structural element misread by every previous architect, revealed as the spatial pivot of the house. Project in progress.

We entrusted Dario with the complete renovation of our villa in Cannes, and the result exceeded all our expectations. Every detail was considered with incredible precision, combining the charm of our historic property with modern, sustainable solutions.

Not sure yet what your property could become?
Before talking about renovation or extension, some projects need a prior step: understanding what the regulations, the structure and the market actually allow.
That is exactly what we do as part of our pre-project strategic analysis.
Your project deserves a careful reading before the first line is drawn.
We work across the Côte d’Azur and PACA. Every project begins with a conversation — no commitment required.
