PLANNING FIRST
akiHAUS Design Studio approaches residential interiors through interior architecture, prioritising spatial planning, layout and flow before decoration. Each project begins by understanding how clients want to live, move, gather and rest, reshaping the structure of the home to support those routines and everyday habits. As design director Lawrence Puah notes, “Start with how you want to live, not with finishes or styles.” This principle anchors the studio’s work from the earliest stage.

SPATIAL THINKING
Rather than simply working around existing layouts, the team questions them — opening sightlines, refining circulation and adjusting volumes so spaces function more clearly and purposefully. The focus is on clarity, light and meaningful spatial transformation, helping interiors feel calm without unnecessary complexity.

CLOSE COLLABORATION
Projects are guided closely from concept to completion, with options presented thoughtfully and solutions worked through closely with the client. Challenges are treated as design opportunities, allowing the team to refine plans and deliver homes that feel personal, well resolved and built to support everyday life comfortably over time.
