Q&A
Q: Studio Havn combines architecture and interior design. How does this interdisciplinary approach influence your projects?
A: At Studio Havn, we merge architecture and interiors into a seamless, holistic design. With experience in NYC and LA, I've seen how space, structure, and interiors shape user experiences. Our integrated approach ensures materiality, proportion, and composition work cohesively to achieve a refined aesthetic that feels considered and lasting. Clients benefit from a unified vision, streamlining the process. Whether crafting a full home or refining an interior, our goal remains the same: creating intentional, refined spaces deeply connected to their inhabitants.
Q: Do you have a signature element or style that you incorporate into your designs?
A: Rather than a signature style, our work is defined by a deep respect for natural materials and context. We believe architecture emerges from its site, drawing inspiration from the landscape, climate, and history to shape both exterior and interior design. Our process is one of layering, creating spaces that feel inherently timeless through thoughtful materiality, proportion, and detail. Collaboration is key—we ensure each project reflects our client’s vision while maintaining a cohesive philosophy rooted in authenticity, context, and craftsmanship.
