Architectural Interior Design Studio

We design from the inside out

We help clients explore ideas while holding the whole picture — balancing the architectural fundamentals of flow, light and practicality with the carefully considered details that bring a space to life.

From proper heating and reliable WiFi connectivity to thoughtfully designed joinery and beautifully finished worktops, every decision is considered so the space works beautifully and your investment is focused where it has the greatest impact.

Christine Skaar Scandinavia Dreaming Book Grey Earrings Zara Top Profile.jpg

Christine is a Norwegian designer who has called the UK home since the days when the Spice Girls ruled our Walkmans.

Her design style blends the warmth and character of British interiors with the light, clarity and practicality of the Scandinavian design she grew up with. Her family also brought with them a strong sense of Norwegian west coast pragmatism, which continues to influence her relaxed but thoughtful approach to space.

Christine founded KVIST to create spaces that balance architectural thinking with carefully crafted interiors. Clients often describe her as both a creative partner and a steady guide through the complexity of building projects.

Today Christine leads the KVIST studio, working alongside a growing team and trusted suppliers to deliver thoughtful, well-considered spaces for homes, hospitality venues and creative studios.

Working together

Designing a space is both exciting and complex. Most clients come to us with a vision for the end result but aren’t always sure how to get there — or how to make the right decisions along the way.

That’s where KVIST comes in.

We help you explore ideas, challenge assumptions and shape a clear direction before moving into the detail of design. From early strategy and spatial planning through to materials, joinery and lighting, we guide the process so each decision supports the bigger picture.

Our role is to bring clarity, creative thinking and practical experience so your project moves forward with confidence.
