“I like to think of myself as being concerned with a higher order of things and probably the clearest manifestation we have of some higher order in the universe is what we see in nature and what we feel in nature.” E. Fay Jones

I would love to chat about your thoughts and ideas
We approach each project not as a design challenge, but as an opportunity to connect — to understand your values, your rhythms, your way of living — and to craft a space that reflects not just who you are, but what you believe. Design is greatest when done in collaboration and shared with the people we surround ourselves with.
"At The Kala Studio, design begins with alignment — not just of form and function, but of values, of rhythms of life. Whether it's a home, a pondscape, or a place to pause, we shape environments through shared understanding, crafting spaces that feel lived, loved, and deeply known."
