The Space Project Co.

02/09/2026

A little quiet on Facebook… but certainly not behind the scenes.

There has been plenty happening at The Space Project Co. Drawings, material selections, renders, site visits and all the small decisions that happen long before a finished space comes together.

Over the next few weeks, I want to share more of that part of interior design.

Not just the finished rooms, but the thinking behind them.

Why I choose one material over another.

What I look for when reviewing a floor plan.

How I help clients make decisions before construction begins.

And the details that can make a renovation feel considered rather than overwhelming.

If you’re planning a renovation around Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, Surf Coast or surrounding areas, you’re in the right place.

There’s plenty more to come.

Design is memory woven into space.

Every project I take on at The Space Project Co. is rooted in stories my own and those of the families I serve. Growing up in a Peruvian, Latin American home, our living room was always alive with colour, laughter, and the gentle chaos of shared moments. That sense of belonging is what I aim to recreate for every client: spaces that feel soulful, layered, and genuinely lived-in.

When we sit together, sometimes with a mug of tea and old photo albums, we’re not just choosing tiles or paint. We're uncovering what home truly means to you and translating that into a design you can see, touch, and feel.

Curious how your story might shape your next renovation? Let’s chat about bringing it to life—one meaningful detail at a time.

The thing I tell every colour consultant client on day one: you're not bad at choosing. You've just been doing it alone.

Colour isn't about finding the "right" white. It's about knowing what you want a room to feel like at 7 a.m. on a Tuesday, at 9 p.m. on a Sunday, and on every grey day in between.

That's the question I ask before I ever open a paint deck. Once you can answer it, the swatches sort themselves.

Some kitchens whisper 'Hamptons'. Some bathrooms shout 'coastal'. Some rooms don't say anything at all.

The most beautiful spaces, I think, tell a story.

I grew up in Pisco, on the coast of Peru. Whitewashed walls, terracotta tile, Pacific light, and a kitchen that smelled like Sunday. It's also where, years later, I met my husband. He's Australian. I'm Peruvian.

We moved together to Cusco, high in the Andes, ancient and grounded, and that's where our family began.

When I was 35, we packed our life into 10 suitcases and moved here with our three children.

Settling into our Geelong home meant learning to hold all of it: the Pisco of my childhood, the Cusco of our beginning, and the Australia we were arriving into.

What I didn't realise back then was that my clients would, years later, start asking me for the very things I'd grown up with inside.

Warm. Grounded. A kitchen that feels like the heart. Earthy, but not boring.

They were asking, without knowing it, for the whitewashed walls, the terracotta tile, the slow-Sunday kitchens, and the centuries-old stone.

They were asking for spaces with a soul.

This is what I mean when I say, 'soulful homes that finally feel like you'. It's not a tagline. It's a way of designing your kitchen, your bathroom, and your living spaces based on actually having made a home feel like mine twice, in two countries, with three children watching.

If you've been quietly wanting your kitchen, bathroom, or home to feel warmer, more grounded, and more 'you', my DMs are open, and there's a free 15-min clarity call in my bio.

No pressure. Just a conversation. 💛

Entendí que el dinero no compra el espacio perfecto.

Pero sí compra TRANQUILIDAD
Un espacio donde tu familia finalmente se siente en casa.

Compra TIEMPO
Tiempo que no gastas buscando, dudando, arrepintiéndote de decisiones de diseño.

Compra OPCIONES
Opciones para crear algo que refleja quién eres realmente, no lo que el trend dice que deberías ser.

Compra para que tus hijos crezcan en un hogar que cuenta su historia. No en espacios genéricos que podrían ser de cualquiera.

Tu espacio merece ser tan único como tu familia.

Dark, dated bathroom. now a coastal sanctuary.

She told us she just wanted somewhere to breathe.

We gave her warm oak, brass, and morning light.

This is what a $450 consult can set in motion...

This is where every outstanding space begins: not on a screen, but in your hands.

The weight of a tile. The warmth of timber. The way terracotta sits besides cool marble, somehow, it just works.

Colour consultation isn't about picking a favourite shade. It's about understanding how materials speak to each other and how the whole story comes together in a space that feels completely, unmistakably you.

I've seen it so many times: a client falls in love with a colour, puts it on the wall, and something feels off. They didn't make the wrong choice. Colour never exists in isolation. It shifts with light, breathes with texture, and changes entirely depending on what sits besides it.

This is the work I love most. I love bringing all the pieces together so that nothing jars, nothing feels like a guess, and the home feels like it was always meant to look this way.

What atmosphere are you envisioning for your next space, whether you are renovating or simply contemplating a refresh??
