Designing Spaces Through Mathematical Precision
Creating harmonious interiors where geometry meets comfort since 2018
Explore Our WorkOur Story
sphere des was founded in 2018 by a group of designers and architects who recognized that the most comfortable spaces often share mathematical relationships. We noticed that rooms which felt naturally balanced typically followed geometric principles, even when this wasn't intentional.
Our studio emerged from years of studying how proportion and geometry affect spatial perception. We examined historical architecture, analyzed naturally occurring patterns, and researched how the human eye processes visual relationships. This investigation led to a systematic approach that applies mathematical harmony to contemporary residential design.
Located in Singapore's historic Carpenter Street, our practice focuses on residential interiors where people spend significant time. We believe your home should support your wellbeing through careful spatial planning, not through trendy styles or excessive decoration. Our method emphasizes lasting comfort achieved through proportional relationships.
Each project begins with understanding how you use your space. We then apply geometric principles to create layouts that feel intuitively right. This approach respects both mathematical theory and practical living requirements, resulting in spaces that are both beautiful and functional for daily life.
Our Values
The principles that guide our approach to interior design
Precision in Planning
We measure carefully, calculate thoroughly, and plan meticulously. Every dimension serves a purpose within the overall geometric system, ensuring nothing is arbitrary or accidental.
Client Collaboration
Your home reflects your life. We listen closely to understand your needs, preferences, and daily routines, then translate these into design decisions that serve your specific situation.
Lasting Quality
We design for enduring satisfaction rather than temporary trends. Geometric principles remain valid across decades, creating spaces that continue to feel right as styles evolve.
Our Design Standards
Geometric Analysis
Every project starts with comprehensive spatial analysis. We measure existing conditions, identify structural constraints, and map circulation patterns. This data forms the foundation for applying geometric principles appropriately.
Our analysis considers room proportions, ceiling heights, natural light sources, and architectural features. We examine how these elements relate mathematically and identify opportunities for creating harmony through proportional adjustments.
Proportional Systems
We apply established proportional systems including golden ratio, rule of thirds, and harmonic divisions. These mathematical relationships create visual balance that the eye recognizes subconsciously, resulting in spaces that feel naturally comfortable.
Each system suits different spatial conditions. We select approaches based on room dimensions, intended use, and your preferences, ensuring the proportional strategy serves both aesthetic and functional requirements.
Material Selection
Materials must meet Singapore's climate requirements while supporting the geometric design. We specify options that perform well in tropical conditions, maintain appearance over time, and contribute to the overall proportional scheme.
Our material recommendations consider durability, maintenance requirements, and environmental factors. We work with suppliers who provide consistent quality and can meet the precise specifications required for geometric designs.
Implementation Support
Geometric designs require precise execution. We provide detailed specifications and can review work at key stages to ensure proportions are maintained during construction. This verification helps achieve the intended mathematical relationships.
While we focus on design rather than project management, we're available to address questions from contractors and can clarify geometric requirements when needed during implementation.

Why Geometric Design
Humans naturally respond to proportional relationships. The golden ratio appears in seashells, flower petals, and human anatomy. When these same proportions appear in built environments, they create unconscious recognition that translates to comfort.
Traditional architecture often incorporated geometric principles without explicitly naming them. Classical buildings, Japanese tea houses, and Modernist designs all used mathematical relationships to create pleasing spaces. Our approach makes these principles explicit and applies them systematically.
Geometric design isn't about rigid rules or cold minimalism. It's about creating underlying structure that supports varied aesthetic preferences. Whether your style leans traditional or contemporary, geometric principles provide a framework that enhances visual coherence.
For Singapore's compact living spaces, geometric planning becomes particularly valuable. Careful proportional relationships maximize perceived spaciousness while maintaining practical function. The result is homes that feel larger and more comfortable than their square footage might suggest.
