About

I go beyond the visual aspects of designing a space to deliver projects that are steeped in spatial and social awareness. My work is about understanding, developing and creating thoughtful, sophisticated and beautiful spaces. 

 Interior Architecture is about so much more than the superficial aspects of a room. When I'm working with a space, I consider the way it will be used, who will be using it and how it can be altered to deliver the best in modern living. By merely moving or adding a wall, changing the ceiling height or adjusting the layout of furniture, I reimagine and recreate spaces that incorporate aspects of both traditional architecture and contemporary decor and styling.

Founder and Studio Director - Ciara Tapia 

Ciara is a qualified Architect, having completed a Master of Architecture and is a highly experienced Interior Designer. She has been in the industry since 2004, collaborating on countless projects, all with the common goal of enhancing the appearance and livability of a space. 

 Ciara really gets to know her clients and gathers a deep understanding of their lifestyle, which plays an influential role in her process of conceptualising and creating a new living experience. She relishes the chance to work closely with clients to fulfil their vision while allowing her knowledge and expertise to guide them to realise its full potential.

 Her previous work with several Sydney-based design companies; Silvester Fuller, MCK Architects, and Justine Hugh Jones, along with international experience in India with Architects without Frontiers as a volunteer designing and building community halls and pre-schools has heavily influenced her design principles.

 Ciara’s passion for design and Interior Architecture has also led her to pass on her knowledge and experience in tutoring the next generation. She regularly tutors both Architecture and Interior Architecture and The University of Technology Sydney, UTS.
