Concept project
01ResidentialKaren, Nairobi
The Karen Residence
A warm contemporary family home combining natural timber, textured finishes, soft neutral colours and comfortable shared spaces.
Interiors that feel as good as they look.
We design thoughtful spaces that bring together natural materials, functional layouts, and the details that make a place feel like home.
01The Studio
Good design begins with understanding how a space is lived in.
Every project begins with the people who will use the space. We consider their routines, priorities, and aspirations before making decisions about layout, materials, lighting, and furnishings.
Beauty matters to us, but it is not the starting point. A room earns its calm when the sofa faces the right way, the light falls where it's needed and the storage is where things are actually used. The aesthetic follows from getting those decisions right.
02Selected Projects
Homes and workplaces, considered room by room.
Four concept projects that show how we think about layout, material and light. They are illustrative studies for this portfolio, not completed client commissions.

04Philosophy
Considered in every detail.
- Function First
- A space should support the activities and routines it was designed for.
- Material Honesty
- Materials, textures and finishes should be selected with their appearance, use and maintenance in mind.
- Natural Balance
- Light, proportion, colour and texture should work together to create a cohesive environment.
- Personal Character
- The result should reflect the people who use the space, rather than follow a trend without purpose.
05Transformation
From a blank room to a place to live.
An illustrative comparison using two reference photographs of different rooms. It shows the kind of change we aim for — it does not document a renovation by the studio.

Design direction · Reference06Our Process
Five stages, one clear path.
This is how a typical full-service project unfolds. The precise scope and sequence depend on the project and on what we're engaged to do — a styling commission, for example, needs only some of these steps.
Stage 01
Discovery
Understand the client's goals, lifestyle, budget, space and preferences.
Stage 02
Concept Development
Establish the visual direction, layout ideas, materials and overall design approach.
Stage 03
Design Development
Refine layouts, furniture selections, finishes, lighting concepts and relevant specifications.
Stage 04
Implementation Coordination
Coordinate agreed design details with the relevant suppliers, contractors or other professionals.
Stage 05
Final Styling and Handover
Review the completed space, arrange furnishings where included in the scope, and hand over relevant project information.
07How we work
Working principles
Thoughtful planning
Decisions are made in a sensible order — plan, then materials, then furniture — so nothing is bought twice.
Clear communication
You will know what stage we are at, what we need from you and what happens next.
Respect for budgets
We discuss budget early and design to it, flagging trade-offs before they become surprises.
Attention to detail
Handles, junctions, switch positions and curtain lengths are considered, not left to chance.
Practical material choices
Finishes are chosen for climate, cleaning and wear as well as looks.
The best rooms are rarely the most decorated. They are the ones where the light, the furniture and the routines of the people living there have been given equal thought.
Let's make your space feel right.
Whether you're furnishing a new home, rethinking an existing room, or planning a commercial interior, we'd love to hear what you have in mind.
