## A measured design practice

Studio

Maris works in the space between architecture, furniture, and the daily rituals that make a house feel lived in.

## From first conversation to final styling

The studio narrows choices early, documents what matters, and leaves room for the small irregularities that make a home human.

## Studio principles

Working rules

Reduce before adding

Every palette starts with what can be removed, repaired, or made quieter.

Let materials carry memory

Stone, timber, linen, clay, and brass are selected for how they age.

Design for the day after install

Rooms are composed for use, maintenance, and seasonal change.

## How the work moves

Fit conversation

Scope, timeline, budget range, and decision pressure are clarified.

Material direction

Palette, key rooms, and procurement rules are established.

Documentation

Selections, notes, and install priorities are prepared for approval.

Installation

Final styling resolves the rooms without overfilling them.
