Design Philosophy
We believe the most luxurious rooms are the calmest ones. Natural stone, warm timber, soft light and precise proportion, composed with restraint, made to be lived in for generations.

Stella Taleb is the founder and principal of a Sydney architecture and interior design studio practising since 2003, with roots in Oslo and projects from the Eastern Suburbs to the French Riviera. Behind every project is a full team of architects, interior designers and project managers, working alongside trusted builders, all under Stella's creative direction.
One studio, one direction. Architecture, documentation, project management and styling move as a single team, which is why nothing is lost between the drawing and the finished room.
"Being a perfectionist, I treat every project as if it were my own. That is my success."
Stella Taleb · Founder & Principal
Casa Luma
A signature series shaped from five elements. Earth, water, fire, air and light. The same elements composed into a different house each time. Architecture as art.

Documentation
Precise drawings, approvals and specifications. DA or CDC pathways managed, every detail resolved before a trade is engaged.

The Build
Delivered by our trusted builders, with the studio project managing daily: program, budget and quality until handover.

Concept
Spatial planning, materiality and light resolved into a singular design direction, presented visually and refined with you.
