About the studio
Considered interiors, delivered with care
We design interiors that are calm to live in and built to last — rooms planned around daylight, materials chosen to age well, and detailing that still holds up years after handover.

About the studio
We design private homes with a long view: rooms that hold up to daily use, and materials that improve as they age.
Founded in 2011, Marele works across full-house renovation, new-build interiors and listed properties. Each project is led end to end by a principal designer, from first site study to the final placement of a lamp.

They took out three walls and the house somehow feels older, not newer. That was exactly the brief, and I never expected anyone to actually hit it.
They asked how we make coffee before they asked what style we liked. A year on, the kitchen still works exactly the way they said it would.
Budget held, dates held, and they argued with me about the right things. I have never had that on a build before.
The consent process could have taken a year. They had drawings the conservation officer actually liked, and we were on site in four months.

We had lived with the rooms half-finished for two years. They resolved them in six weeks, mostly with things we already owned.

Two years on the restaurant still photographs beautifully and nothing has worn badly. In hospitality that is genuinely rare.

Nothing about the house feels decorated. It feels resolved — like it had always been this way and we simply uncovered it.

They handled every trade, every delivery, every delay. We moved back into a finished house, not a punch list.
