Design process
Mandarina Studio’s design process is rooted in careful listening, strong principles of design, and a commitment to enduring quality. Each project begins with a focused conversation to understand the client’s goals, daily rhythms, and the character of the home itself. These insights inform a cohesive interior direction that considers spatial planning, architectural detailing, finishes, and a curated mix of furnishings, lighting, textiles, and art.
Each project is led by the principal and shaped through close collaboration with a trusted network of architects, builders, and artisans. Mandarina Studio remains actively involved throughout construction and installation, guiding decisions and maintaining continuity from concept through completion.
