Interior Architecture Studio
Aethelgard designs homes and commercial interiors in charcoal plaster, raw brass, and warm stone — for people who want a room to hold its composure long after the trend cycle moves on.
About Aethelgard
Founded in 2012, Aethelgard is a small studio working across residential and hospitality interiors. We favour restraint over spectacle — one confident material, used correctly, over five competing for attention.
Every project starts on-site, not in a mood board. We study how light actually moves through a room before we draw a single wall. The result is architecture that feels inevitable rather than decorated.
Our Process
We spend a half-day on site before drawing anything — light, sound, sightlines, how you actually move through the space.
A concept board grounded in real material samples, not just palettes — plaster, stone, and metal you can hold before we commit.
Millimetre-accurate joinery and lighting drawings, reviewed with our in-house makers before a single cut is made.
On-site supervision through to the last object placed on a shelf — we don't hand off a shell and disappear.
Services
Each service is led by the same three people from first sketch to final install — no hand-offs, no diluted vision.
Full-home interior architecture — layout, material palette, lighting, and furnishing, from empty shell to lived-in.
Restaurants, boutique hotels, and members' spaces designed to hold up under nightly use without losing their nerve.
Independent guidance on stone, plaster, and metal finishes for architects and developers building at scale.
Cabinetry, staircases, and fixed furniture built in our own workshop — designed and fabricated under one roof.
Layered lighting plans built around how a room is actually used at 8am and at 11pm — not just how it photographs.
Final-layer styling — art, textiles, and objects sourced to finish a room without it ever feeling staged.
