Studio Rooted stems from a deep fascination in cultural heritage and how this is represented through architecture and design. We passionately embrace both contemporary and historic objects and structures, always with the aim to sympathetically restore or authentically craft, creating meaningful forms, spaces or experiences.
After meeting during our first year of university in 2013, we established our studio in 2024 to champion our shared interests. In our first year we have worked on architectural restorations, interior and set design projects. The common thread that allows us to work across these and many other disciplines is the sensitivity to which we approach each project. Research in its many forms allows us to understand and develop a contextually relevant concept and through collaboration we can grow beyond a single discipline.
We strive for our work to evoke meaningful connection, emotional response, or transformation in whatever form it takes.

Her early interest in how our environments affect us drew her towards a BA Interior Architecture from Oxford Brookes, she went on to further study MA Narrative Environments at Central Saint Martins. Specialising in narrative environments, Christiana weaves stories through space in her work to create deeper connections.
