“For me, the most successful projects begin with listening. When I understand how you live and what matters to you, I can design spaces that feel effortless, grounded, and personal.”
— Mikaela Black, Lead Design Consultant
About Studio Black Space
We believe great spaces aren’t just beautiful. They should feel right too. With over a decade spent working on residential projects, retail projects, and everything in between, we help clients bring their ideas to life in ways that are thoughtful, functional, and genuinely personal.
We love the problem-solving side of design. Fitting all the moving parts together. Finding clarity in the mess. Creating something that just works. That mindset shaped Studio Black Space; a studio grounded in contrast, duality, and the belief that details matter.
Whether it's a small renovation or a full transformation, we are here to guide the process and make it as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
