The Studio
Studio Fernandes is a residential interior design studio specialising in renovations and custom builds. Based on the Gold Coast, the studio works across Brisbane and Northern New South Wales on projects that prioritise clarity, function, and longevity.
​
The work is grounded in a belief that good design begins with structure. Thoughtful planning, considered material selection, and restraint guide every decision, resulting in homes that feel cohesive, resolved, and easy to live in over time.
Philosophy
Design is approached with a long-term view. Rather than responding to trends, each project is shaped by context, proportion, and how the space is intended to function daily. Materials are selected for durability and relevance, and layouts are refined to support real patterns of living.
​
The studio values clarity over excess, and cohesion over complexity.
Every project begins with a clear framework. Clients are guided through the design process with intention, allowing decisions to be made confidently and without unnecessary friction. This structured approach removes ambiguity, reduces decision fatigue, and creates a calm experience from concept through to delivery.
The Process
The Designer
Studio Fernandes is led by Emma Fernandes.
​
Emma’s approach is defined by thoughtful analysis, spatial awareness, and an emphasis on how homes are experienced over time. Her work balances creativity with structure, allowing clients to engage in the process with confidence while trusting the design direction.
​
With a focus on residential projects, Emma works closely with clients to deliver interiors that feel measured, functional, and enduring.
Studio Fernandes works with clients who value considered design and are seeking a clear, design-led process. Most projects are undertaken for time-poor professionals creating a long-term home, who prefer to entrust the design direction to an experienced and measured hand.
