We work with existing homes to improve space, light, materials and the way people live in them — from interior design and renovation strategy to furnishing and final styling.
London
TERA Vivir is expanding its residential design practice into London, bringing an approach shaped by architecture, interiors and the transformation of existing homes.
Our work starts by understanding what is already there — the proportions, light, materials and character of a property — before deciding what genuinely needs to change.
Four pathways, depending on what your home needs.
Spatial planning, materials, lighting, furniture and a coherent design direction for the home.
Explore Residential Interior DesignDesign-led thinking for homes that need more significant physical change, from reworking layouts to kitchens, bathrooms, finishes and architectural details.
Explore Refurbishment DesignFurniture, lighting, textiles, art and final composition for homes that do not require a full refurbishment.
Explore Interior StylingDesign and styling support for homes being prepared for sale, rental or market presentation.
Explore Property PresentationWe are interested in transformation rather than replacement for its own sake. Existing proportions, materials, details and traces of a building’s history can become part of a contemporary interior rather than obstacles to it.
The aim is not to impose a signature look, but to create a home that feels resolved, useful and specific to the people living there.
Reconsidering rooms and circulation to respond to contemporary daily life.
Understanding how layout, surfaces and openings influence available natural light.
Creating a coherent relationship between existing fabric and new interventions.
Treating functional spaces as part of the overall design rather than isolated upgrades.
Integrating practical storage without allowing it to dominate the architecture.
We discuss the property, how you live, what needs to change and the intended scope.
We study the existing layout, light, proportions and opportunities.
We establish the spatial strategy and design direction.
We work through materials, lighting, furniture, finishes and key details.
Where agreed, we support the design through implementation and collaborate with the relevant project team.
Our London work can combine remote design development with in-person project stages where required. The exact working model depends on the scope, location and project team.
For refurbishment projects requiring local statutory, architectural, engineering or construction services, we work alongside the appropriately appointed UK professionals.
Reimagining the interior of a protected Victorian property in Hampstead Heath. The historic facade was preserved and restored in line with local planning requirements, while inside, a collection of furniture and objects gathered by the client sits against a calm backdrop of natural timber, stone and clean contemporary lines.
A quiet retreat designed for writing and reflection, where the architecture sits gently within its garden setting. A single open volume, microcement surfaces and a fireplace as the focal point create a calm, contemplative interior.
We begin with space, proportion, light and how the home needs to function.
Layout, materials, furniture and styling are developed as parts of the same idea.
We look for what should change, but also what is worth keeping.
Tell us where the property is, what you would like to change and where you are in the process.
