Architecture and interior design, from concept to completion
Studio Maiva designs considered homes where every decision has intention, from the first sketch to the final detail, guiding the entire journey from concept to completion to create homes that are not only beautifully resolved, but ready to be lived in.
Our Process
1.
We start by understanding how you want to live, what’s possible with your property and how to shape a direction that feels right from the outset.

We explore layouts, refine ideas and develop a design that balances ambition, budget and practicality.
Shape the design
3.
We prepare and manage your planning application, coordinating technical reports where needed and guiding the process through to decision.
Planning & approvals

Technical design
We develop technical drawings and coordinate with consultants so everything is ready to be built properly.
5.
From tendering the project and appointing the right contractor to remaining involved throughout construction, we help ensure every detail is delivered as intended.
Tender, site & delivery
Architecture
We design homes, extensions and renovations across Christchurch, Lymington, Dorset and the New Forest - shaping each project around how you want to live, not just how it looks.
From early ideas through to planning and technical design, we guide the process carefully, helping you make informed decisions so everything feels considered, buildable and aligned from the outset.
Interior Design
We design interiors that feel calm, cohesive and genuinely comfortable to live in - spaces that work beautifully day to day, not just in photographs.
Working from early layout stages through to detailed design, we consider everything from flow and lighting to materials and finishes, so your home feels thoughtful, balanced and entirely your own.
Project Management
Working through a construction project of any scale can feel overwhelming at times. Staying involved through to completion allows us to carry the original design intent all the way through, from early cost considerations and ongoing valuations, to detailed design decisions, final accounts and snagging.
Our role is to ease that pressure, helping things run more smoothly while ensuring the finer details aren’t lost along the way. The result is a better, more considered home and a process that feels far more enjoyable from start to finish.
