Our Story
A Studio Built on the Belief That Space Changes Lives.
Founded in 2016, Aura Studio began with a single question: what does it feel like to truly belong somewhere? Eight years and fifty projects later, that question still drives everything we design.
We work at the intersection of architecture and interior design — not as two separate disciplines, but as one continuous conversation between structure, light, material, and human experience.
Our clients are property developers, business owners, and homeowners who understand that a beautifully designed space is not a luxury — it is an investment in how life is lived.

What We Do
Three Disciplines. One Vision.
Interior Design
We curate spaces where every material choice, every light source, every proportion is deliberate. Residential interiors, offices, retail, and F&B.
Space Planning
For clients navigating renovation or new builds, we provide spatial strategy: flow analysis, feasibility, and concept development before commitment.

The brief was simple: keep the bones, lose everything else. We stripped the original structure to its frame, redesigned the spatial flow to capture the garden light that had been blocked for decades, and furnished every room in dialogue with the surrounding tropical landscape.
How We Work
A Process as Deliberate as Our Design.
Discovery
We begin with listening. A deep-dive conversation about how you live, work, and move through space. No brief is too detailed. This session defines everything.
Concept
We translate your brief into spatial concepts — mood boards, material directions, and preliminary layout studies. You choose the direction that resonates.
Design Development
Concepts become detailed drawings: architectural plans, interior elevations, 3D visualizations, and material specifications. No surprises on site.
Execution
Our in-house team manages every contractor, every delivery, every installation detail. You receive weekly progress reports and site photography.
Handover
We don't hand you keys and disappear. A formal walkthrough, a snag list, and a 6-month post-occupancy check-in are standard with every project.
