Our Story

DterriDesign was born from a desire to create spaces that go beyond aesthetics - spaces that offer comfort, connection, and care. Founded by a Malaysian designer with a background in interior architecture, our studio emerged from the belief that design can be a quiet yet powerful force for emotional and social healing.

A turning point in our journey came in 2017, during the redesign of London’s historic Smithfield Market. What began as an academic project evolved into a deeply personal exploration: transforming a derelict market into a rehabilitation center for hospital workers and the families of patients. This experience revealed the profound role interior architecture can play in addressing human loneliness, wellbeing, and dignity.

Since then, DterriDesign has grown into a platform for concept-driven, empathetic design. Our work - from experimental future projects to bespoke interior spaces - continues to challenge convention, rooted in storytelling, cultural awareness, and emotional intelligence.

Every space we shape is a quiet dialogue between memory, material, and meaning - a reflection of our belief that design should serve both the mind and the heart.
