our story

With a creative team of diverse architects and interior designers, SAGA STUDIOS specialises in interior design, hospitality and private residences.In taking projects from concept to completion, our design celebrates the unexpected and tells a story. Our ethos is deeply rooted in valuing human wellbeing. Good design helps us to live better. It helps us feel better, and when things are functional, we perform better. Functionality, good design, the experience - they all go hand in hand to create something extraordinary.

our passion

From design to construction, we design and support every client and every project from concept to completion. Our designs combine the old and the new, the built and the natural, and celebrate balance. We are a collective of experienced and passionate interior designers and architects and have a large network of craftsmen with whom we collaborate to turn each project into reality.

In a world where design has the power to shape our experiences and emotions, our interior design studio endeavours to leave a lasting legacy, a timeless story etched into the walls and fabrics of each project. At the centre of our philosophy is the belief that spaces can transcend the ordinary and become extraordinary stages for life's most memorable moments.

From hotels and holiday homes that enchant their guests with mesmerising journeys, to restaurants that create a sense of warmth and togetherness, to the privacy of homes, our interior architecture and designs speak volumes about the human spirit and the power of design to enrich lives. With our relentless commitment to excellence, we bridge the gap between dreams and reality, creating spaces that speak to the heart and inspire the imagination. Our journey is fuelled by the stories we co-create with our clients, the memories we create and the people we inspire.

At our core, we believe that architecture and interior design should be more than just structures. In our pursuit of exceptional design, we venture beyond the surface, beyond what the eye sees. It's about creating spaces that exude life and character, spaces that resonate with the hearts and minds of those who inhabit them. Our process is a symphony of elements, a complex puzzle of form and function. We specialise in the art of architectural design of spaces, considering everything from structure to acoustics, lighting to materials and every last detail of a project.

We value the heritage of the past, bringing new life to historic structures and honouring their history by seamlessly integrating them into contemporary designs. In our studio, we bring dreams to life and transform visions into tangible reality. Our journey is one of creativity and inspiration, where we delight in crafting unique stories, each a masterpiece in its own right. Everyone who walks through our doors becomes a co-creator, an integral part of the story we write together.
