— The Studio

A practice that began in Malé, and has stayed there.

Design Gallery was established in 2005, among the first to bring interior design and construction together under one roof in the Maldives.

Our focus is to carry out a concept from the point of gaining inspiration — thinking it through, planning it, implementing it. We hold to that promise with a small set of services, a small team, and the patience the work asks for.

— How we work

Four phases,
one finite promise.

From the first conversation to the day the room is handed over — we keep the path simple, and walk all of it ourselves.

01

Inspiration

We sit with the brief, the room, the client. The inspiration belongs to them; our work is to listen for it first.

02

Concept

The inspiration is translated into the disciplines of the studio — interior, office, home, fit-out — and given a shape we can draw.

03

Planning

Drawings, schedules, suppliers. The platforms are made to carry the idea through without losing it on the way.

04

Implementation

We build the room. The same hands that imagined it are on site for the long stretch — quietly, on time, with the patience the work demands.
