We are an architecture and interior design studio offering new language achieved by timeless design, sophisticated craftsmanship, refined details, and the imperfect beauty of natural materials…
As an award-winning studio, OZA proposes high-end bespoke designs that bring together the vernacular knowledge, quality of experience, and the delicacy of rich cultures from both the East and the West. In our London-based design studio, we provide interior and architectural design solutions that respond to exciting briefs from our clients with unique stories. Our wide-ranging international portfolio includes architectural and interior design works that vary from residential, cultural, hospitality and commercial offices to retail projects while we present an extensive collection of furniture and lighting designs. Besides the places we create, we keep expanding our product design collections and other design works via collaborations with artists and artisans who are experts in their fields.
Our studio is composed of a multidisciplinary creative team of architects and interior designers working dedicatedly to create the best examples of delicately detailed, well-considered, unique places. While tailoring an inspirational comfort, we simultaneously recognize and respect the stories of each client and project environment. The concepts created by OZA surround and cherish the soul that our clients bring in. The richness introduced by their lifestyles is amplified via our designs. We create places that reflect the identity of our clients while enriching their input with our refined design language born out of our passions, dreams, and our diverse backgrounds. We aspire to meet our client’s needs with unparalleled design solutions that yield emotive, human-conscious, and functional responses through the highest quality of design. We created OZA because we believe in the human need for emotion and connection in their environment. In this sense, OZA does not propose a certain style: instead, it suggests a philosophy. It resembles a state of mind, a way of seeing, and a way of being.
OZA was founded in 2011 with Özge Öztürk and Alexandre Simeray’s desire to share their vision and design aspirations on creating luxurious but sincere lifestyles. Together they put forward a new and fresh language in design: unforgettable spaces with narratives, and heirlooms for the future. They stand strong on their inspirational backgrounds going back to France and Türkiye: representing the East and the West. As they work together to design delicately thought futures in their London-based studio, they bring their broad perspective nurtured by their diverse and global expertise, knowledge, and experience together. Currently, they pursue their international projects in locations varying from Europe, Asia, and the United States to the Middle East.
Starting from our very first meeting, we take you on a journey with OZA to turn your most fantastic dreams into reality. As it is necessary for building all long-lasting relationships, we listen to you carefully and celebrate the chance to know you: what excites you, what makes you happy, and the future you imagine for yourself… With a holistic approach to design and our experience in multidisciplinary fields, we take care of your needs and desires carefully.

When we are starting your project, we work closely with you to understand your needs and desires. Upon getting to know your priorities better, we present you our vision for the look and feel of the project with materials, textures, references and more than all, feelings, senses, and stories. Following your comments, we create the first hand-drawn sketches turning into options for layouts that help you visualize what your spaces’ future will look like. As we carry on with detailed concept presentations and specifications for furniture and finishes, we materialize our shared dreams for your perfect place. During this process, we support you with our experience and expertise that sustain us to realize the best projects with unmatched craftsmanship and flawless design applications which only require you to turn the key to start experiences upon completion.
With an unmatched attention to detail, we look to discover the potential of each project.

OZA can’t be framed. It exists in every detail of its projects, from the wood grain of its furniture to the glow of its lights. From the softness of the fabrics and the sharpness of the metal to the warmth of the feeling it instils.
OZA can’t be defined by a style, it always reinvents itself and translates atmospheres into physical expressions.
We do not design simply to meet an expected aesthetic. We voluntarily disrupt your preconceptions to produce a work that is as unique as the places we transform.
We approach each project with the desire to provide our clients with a bespoke and timeless creation, tailoring their experience from inception through to completion.
