ABOUT FRANKFRANCO ARCHITECTS
Welcome to the world of FrankFranco Architects. Established in 2013 by Frank DiSarra, this international award-winning firm is where defiance meets eloquence, and every structure tells a story of unbridled imagination.
Specializing in contemporary residential and commercial architecture, FrankFranco is not just a studio but a manifesto for unapologetic expression. Beginning with a relentless study of site-specific conditions, the team then weaves creativity into every corner, optimizing each property with innovation. Collaboration is the firm’s cornerstone, and holism is its mantra.
FrankFranco is a team of practitioners that refuses to bow to convention, ensuring that from concept to completion, the vision and aspiration of each project remains resolutely intact. This entails connecting with the client on a deeper level – understanding their needs beyond the functional as architecture is not merely a backdrop to everyday life, but rather an opportunity to engrain personal narratives into each uniquely designed space.
Whether a small-scale renovation or a large new build, design placement and flow is always intentional to maximize the natural characteristics of site. The architecture then becomes art, with each space and element crafted to imprint upon the inhabitants, complementing their relationships and movements within. Adhering to modernist architectural principles, the designs of FrankFranco are functional, warm and, taking their cue from the site, feature natural elements. The studio’s sustainable practices and processes include educating the clients on and utilizing new building infrastructures that are energy efficient and specifying local whenever possible to reduce the carbon footprint. Timeless in their appeal and built to last, FrankFranco Architects believes it is imperative for architects today to design responsibly and create structures that leave a legacy.
A TOTAL DESIGN EXPERIENCE
The total design experience is one that leads us to produce exceptional work; it allows us to connect to our client on a deeper level and to understand beyond the functional needs, to integrate their lives into the architecture. Through the process, we take a thorough and detailed look at the concepts, spaces, materials, and details, ensuring that every decision is in line with the design intent. From architecture and interiors to landscaping and even industrial design, the studio ensures the vision and aspiration of a project remains uncompromisingly intact from concept to completion.
