About the Studio

A home shaped by the way you live.

Studioayse is a residential interior design studio in the San Francisco Bay Area, founded by Ayse Kozaci.

The studio was created from a deeply personal belief: that a home quietly shapes the texture of daily life — how people relate to one another, where they find ease, and how they move through their days. At its best, design is an act of care — thoughtful, attentive, and rooted in close attention to how people actually live.

In practice this means beginning with observation — with how a morning unfolds in this house, where people naturally gather, and where they need to be alone. What does the light do at 6pm? These questions shape every spatial and material decision that follows.

Growing up in Istanbul — a city of art and architecture where two continents meet — and living in the Bay Area for over two decades, both places live in her work. The layered history of one, the natural beauty and cultural diversity of the other. Each home here carries a different story, and that richness is something this practice is built to honor.

Ayse holds degrees in interior architecture and visual arts — a foundation that supports both the creative and technical demands of full-scope residential design.

Studioayse accepts a select number of projects each year. Each home receives sustained, personal attention from first conversation to completed space.
