BUILD Q3 2020 10 s it so often is in the world of interior design, experience is king. From the intuitive knowledge to picking the perfect piece of artwork that complements a space, to the ability to choose the right soft furnishings that can completely transform a room, experience is invaluable in making these decisions. Studio 62 brings that experience to East Africa, with its unique blend of passion, perception, and professionalism. Working alongside some of the most discerning clients in the region, Studio 62 has become the preferred choice of interior planning partner because of its experience in everything to do with interior design. It could be finding the right colour scheme to suit a specific taste, or knowing where to find the best quality products on a limited budget. Whatever the need, Studio 62 has it covered. Offering bespoke and thorough interior planning services for projects of all shapes, sizes, and budgets, Studio 62 is wholly dedicated to creating a final space that truly embodies the vision and personality of the customer. Under the sage leadership of Suzanne Watts, who brings more than twenty five years of professional interior planning experience to her role as principal designer, Studio 62’s core team is professional, inspired, and diligent in all things. Together, the team values long-term partnerships with customers, as it continuously strives to be reliable, versatile, and innovative. Those values help the team to deliver on the mission and vision of Studio 62 – to be the designers of choice in hospitality, high-end residential, and commercial projects, balancing function, aesthetic, and budget when creating interiors that exceed client’s expectations. In each of the projects that it undertakes, Studio 62 moves away from traditional methods of interior design and decoration, instead favouring a planning and design process that results in spaces that are flawless in both form and function. The breadth of projects could not be more varied, from upcountry game lodges and corporate banks, to downtown apartments and gourmet restaurants. However, each project begins with the same preparation of a project brief, created through close collaboration, discussion, and insight between the client, the team, and other involved parties such as architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, graphic designers, and others. Ingenious & Innovative Interiors Born out of passion, talent, and the demand for top-quality interiors in East Africa, Studio 62 first opened its door back in 2002 and has not looked back since. Having worked on a diverse portfolio of successful interior planning projects, it is little surprise that the studio has been recognised in BUILD as Kenya’s Most Innovative Interior Design Consultancy, 2020. We take a closer look to find out more about how the firm has evolved over eighteen years into a studio of sure-fire success. A With thorough planning and management, Studio 62 approaches and executes each individual interior project with flawless results whilst remaining within budget and on brief. Design considerations are made with personality and context in mind, but the process itself is born from the clients vision for their space, and driven by Studio 62’s insights and network of reliable affiliates. Personality is key to a space, as style elements can reflect a brand or personality by being traditional or contemporary, rustic or cosmopolitan, minimal or baroque. Studio 62 considers the context also, in terms of historical, traditional, and cultural influences, to ensure that it creates an interior space that matches who the client is. Ultimately, Studio 62 makes and fulfils four different promises to four different groups of people involved in the design process. To the customers, Studio 62 makes a positive, longterm difference to their lives through well-crafted design. To the consulting partners, the studio consistently adopts the highest standards and quality of its professional practice.
