Interior design for clients who value wellness, beauty, and balance
THE STUDIO KESTREL EXPERIENCE
Full-service interior design for spaces that feel calm, considered, and deeply livable
Studio Kestrel designs residential and hospitality interiors for clients who want spaces that support daily life—not only visually, but in how they function and feel over time. Our work is rooted in organic modern design and guided by a clear, well-structured process that brings confidence and steadiness to complex projects.
We are a strong fit for clients who value natural materials, softened forms, and thoughtful proportions—and who care as much about the lived experience of a space as its appearance.
Our services span the full design process, including new builds, renovations, and furnishing projects. From early planning through final details, we oversee each phase with close attention to how spaces move, function, and fit together as a whole.
The Studio Kestrel experience is defined by clarity and restraint, resulting in interiors that feel grounded, enduring, and quietly refined.
SERVICES
Comprehensive design for clients who value thoughtful, cohesive environments
Studio Kestrel provides integrated interior, architectural, and landscape design for clients who want a cohesive result without managing multiple consultants or fragmented decisions. Our role is to guide complex projects with intention—so the home feels balanced and carefully considered.
We work across interiors, architecture, furnishings, and outdoor spaces, coordinating each element to support how the property is used and experienced over time. From early planning through execution, we help clients make informed decisions with care and precision.
This approach is well suited to clients who value integration, comfort, and a steady, well-managed process.
PORTFOLIO
Selected projects shaped by intention and long-term livability
Studio Kestrel’s portfolio includes private residences, hospitality environments, and outdoor spaces conceived as unified experiences. Each project reflects a careful relationship between architecture, interiors, and surroundings, informed by how the space is meant to function and be lived in.
Rather than a signature style, our work is characterized by considered planning, measured execution, and close attention to proportion and materiality. The result is spaces that feel beautiful and enduring—responsive to both their setting and the people who inhabit them.
