We define a clear design direction by aligning client requirements with spatial logic, context, and narrative, establishing a strong conceptual foundation that guides all subsequent design decisions.
The concept is developed into a cohesive design system through detailed planning, material intelligence, and spatial refinement, ensuring both functional efficiency and a strong, consistent visual identity.
Realistic visualisations translate design intent into tangible experiences, enabling informed decisions, design clarity, and precise alignment before moving into technical documentation.
A comprehensive documentation set ensures technical accuracy and execution clarity, aligning all stakeholders while minimising on-site ambiguity and maintaining design integrity.
We manage end-to-end project execution with structured oversight, ensuring the design is delivered with precision, consistency, and complete alignment with the approved vision.
Space Esse is an architectural and interior design studio that creates unique, functional and impactful spaces which provide a richer and everlasting special Essence. We stand for designing spaces where the walls, floors and ceilings speak to you, inspires you and tells you an unforgettable story. We priorities comfort, quality and uniqueness.
From the vision of Space Esse, we design more than interiors; we shape Essences. Rooted in an understanding of how people feel and move through space, we blend architecture with emotion, creating environments that feel intentional, elegant, and alive. Our work is grounded in simplicity, sustainability, and storytelling, where every wall, texture, and beam of light speaks with quiet purpose.
We believe great design doesn’t just fill a room, it defines how we live within it. That’s why each project is treated as a living canvas, composed with precision and soul. From private residences to creative salons, retail boutiques to restaurants, we specialize in crafting spaces that reflect individuality, embrace calm, and elevate everyday life
Founded by Sharif Raiana Mahmud, an interior architect with a passion for purposeful spaces, and Fariha Karim, a visionary architect with a timeless approach to design, Space Esse is a female-led studio built on heritage, harmony, and ambition.
The name itself holds meaning: “Space” as the architectural dimension we shape, and “Esse,” derived from Latin for essence. Together, Space Esse represents the essence of space, a reflection of identity, comfort, and conscious living.
These are the pillars of Space Esse. We design with honesty, lead with trust, and execute with dedication. No two spaces are ever the same – because no two stories are.
Every project begins with a clear concept derived from client requirements, context, and spatial intent. This ensures that all design decisions are purposeful, cohesive, and aligned from the initial idea through to final execution.
We prioritise efficient layouts and logical spatial flow to ensure every space functions seamlessly. Thoughtful planning enhances usability, movement, and comfort while maintaining a clean and well-balanced spatial composition.
Materials are selected with careful consideration of aesthetics, performance, and budget. Each choice is evaluated to achieve the right balance between visual impact, durability, and cost efficiency without compromising overall design quality.
Our work follows a clearly defined and organised process, from concept development to technical documentation. This ensures consistency, transparency, and smooth coordination across all stages of the project.
We maintain close oversight during execution to ensure the design is delivered as intended. Through coordination, quality checks, and attention to detail, we ensure the final outcome reflects the approved design accurately.
We’ve had the privilege of designing and transforming over a thousand interiors, creating spaces that truly resonate with our clients’ visions and needs. Our approach focuses on blending aesthetics and functionality, ensuring each project brings comfort, elegance, and a personalized touch.
