Approach

At STUDIOTINAMANIS, the design process is a journey of discovery, pushing beyond the expected to uncover the unexpected ways we want to inhabit, work, relax, entertain and gather.

Our process is rooted in empathy, and expressed in interior narratives that are uncannily unique, deeply personal, seamlessly functional and full of joy.

We don’t consider our finished projects just built spaces, we consider them personal stories told in three dimensions.

We call our approach as empathetic design—we create for the unique needs and personalities of our clients. We dig deep. We never stop being curious. We get personal. And we create spaces that elevate the everyday. 

We approach each project with three distinct lenses:

Engage
We get to know the client, the space and the possibilities through thoughtful observation and relentless curiosity. What are the parameters and needs of the client? What can the space do? What will make it make it even more special, unique or functional? Can we push the limits even further to create unexpected and surprising outcomes?

Inhabit
We don’t consider our design as something on the page (or screen). We use the design process to inhabit the space and uncover ways to enhance lived experience in unexpected, personal and meaningful ways through design.

Connect
We bring the best artisans and collaborators together for the job. With the right-fit team in place, we turn innovative ideas into beautifully functional spaces and objects you can experience, enjoy and share.

Our studio has locations on both the East and West Coast and offer design, product, and procurement services for residential and boutique commercial and hospitality clients.
