Our Services
INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
INTERNAL SPACES GENERATE LIFE THROUGH GEOMETRIES, materials and lighting. Achieving a balanced and elegant result is a complex undertaking that can not be under-estimated. Natural wood and stone transform over time but authenticity never goes out of style.
SOURCING & PROCUREMENT
WE HAVE A DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF GLOBAL FURNITURE, lighting, floor furnishings and accessory suppliers. For a more tailored outcome, we combine established brands with bespoke furniture that we design specifically for your project.
HOMEWARES & SUPPLIES
WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE BUSY and sourcing all those items needed to make a house or a yacht feel like home can be a daunting task. We overcome this with our deep knowledge of global product choices and close relationships with suppliers.
We are small enough to deliver a truly personal and effective result.
Our Work
We conceive spaces with a flow between different styles, always aiming for moderation, serenity, functionality and durability.
In all our work we prioritise a deep understanding of you and your business. We always take our time to carefully listen and focus on creating a truly individualised result.
Each project, regardless of style and scale, takes shape after a period of introspection, strengthened by research into texture, composition, colour, ambience, context and history of the place.
Our process begins by developing an in-depth understanding of your personal journeys or your business goals. Your interiors should reflect your past, present and future.
Creating such spaces means searching for emotional references that will have a crucial impact on every decision that’s made.
We will deliver a scheme strong enough to support those emotions that really keep you connected to home. Your business will deliver such memorable experiences that make your customers return over and over again.
With nearly two decades of international work, Maria built a substantial portfolio of residential, hospitality, commercial and yachting work.

Understanding your personal & financial return on investment
With an impressive result, we will make your property stand out in a competitive market.
Whether you are the owner, the architect or naval architect, property developer or broker, we will expertly guide you to an impressive result.
Interior design is extremely powerful.
Interior design is more than just aesthetics - it’s crucial for your quality of life and also increases the marketability of your asset or your business.
We help investment homeowners, hospitality and commercial businesses increase the value and appeal of their property and business through thoughtful and high quality design solutions.
Whether you’re looking to sell, upgrade an existing space or engage in a new development, we will work with you to achieve an impressive return on investment.
Research indicates again and again that people are drawn towards attractive spaces and incorporating high quality aesthetics into a property substantially increases its value.
Many smart real estate investors favour buying something that is already designed according to current trends, instead of investing in expensive renovations after purchasing a property.
Having professional-level interior design in place could be the key difference between making a quick sale and not being able to find buyers who are willing to pay what you think your property or what your business offerings are worth.
For those serious about investing in real estate or creating a commercial space that stands out, understanding how good design affects its value is essential.
We can make sure your property looks amazing and not only does this increases profitability but also helps you make an impressive impression on other competing businesses.
Your investment will pay off. From increased property value to a more enjoyable living experience, the return of investment from interior design is undeniable.
