01 / SELECTED WORK

Caulfield North


Mid-century modern architecture has always been a favourite of mine, making this home a particularly special project. My approach was to honour its original character and the spirit of the era, while bringing my own perspective through colour, materials and carefully considered details. Warm timber, natural stone and rich colour build on the home’s existing personality, adding a fresh layer that feels both personal and true to its mid-century roots.

SELECTED WORK / BALWYN NORTH

Balwyn North


A familiar space, a new way to enjoy it. As the family’s needs evolved, this former laundry and playroom became a bar and billiard room—somewhere to share a drink, play a game and settle in for the evening.
Working with my clients to shape the brief, we transformed it into a bar and billiard room with its own personality. Rich colour, warm materials and bespoke details bring a fresh energy to the space, while feeling right at home within the existing house.

SELECTED WORK / BRIGHTON EAST

Brighton East


A home with family life at its heart. For Brighton East, the focus was on creating spaces that feel comfortable, personal and full of character.
Colour, texture and carefully crafted details bring warmth throughout, balancing everyday practicality with a sense of playfulness. A home to be lived in and enjoyed, with room for the family to grow.

02 / ABOUT







I’m Sanaz.

Principal interior designer at Studio Alef.

Based in Melbourne, I create homes that feel personal, welcoming and thoughtfully considered. My approach begins with understanding how you live, what you love and what you want your home to feel like.

From renovations and space planning to kitchen and bathroom design, bespoke joinery and furniture selection, I help bring the different elements of your home together. I work closely with you on design, selection of materials, colour, lighting and finishes, balancing practical needs with the details that give a space its character.

I’m drawn to warm timber, natural stone, rich colour and layered textures. Whether working with the character of an older home or shaping a new space, I look for ways to make it feel cohesive, comfortable and distinctly yours.

From the first ideas to the final furnishings, I bring care to both the big picture and the small details.
