Modera Space

You bring the space and how you want to live or work in it. We turn that into a layout, materials and a calm, modern look — planned to work on an ordinary day, not just in a photo.

About the studio

Space, considered down to the last detail.

We're Modera Space — a Riga studio working on homes, offices and commercial interiors across Latvia and Europe. Calm, modern spaces that look good and still work on a busy Tuesday morning.

We start with how a space is actually used: where people walk, where light falls, what needs to be stored and what should stay visible. The look comes after that. Always. So the result feels natural when you're living in it — not just impressive when someone visits.

  • AestheticsA clear, contemporary look — nothing trendy for its own sake.
  • UsabilityLayouts shaped around how you actually move through the day.
  • EfficiencyEvery square metre doing something useful.

Before the concept

First we solve the space. Then we style it.

Before we talk about colour or furniture, we figure out where things go. Clear zones. Natural movement. Storage where you actually need it. Light planned around how the room is used.

Space planning

We draw the invisible layer first — flow, storage, daylight — and only then choose finishes and pieces. That's why the finished space feels calm instead of over-designed.

Selected design directions

Three calm ways a space can work.

Three kinds of briefs we work on often — not a project gallery, just a sense of how we think about different spaces.

01

A compact home with a clearer daily rhythm.

TaskMake a small apartment feel open without losing storage, a place to unwind, or room to actually live in.

SolutionZone the layout first, then use soft material contrast and low-profile furniture so the room stays quiet and functional.

  • Open living zone
  • Hidden everyday storage
  • Layered evening lighting

02

A warm interior that can handle real life.

TaskKeep the interior calm while making it durable enough for several people using it every day.

SolutionPlan how people move through the space first, then build a palette around easy maintenance, daylight and furniture that can shift when needs change.

  • Durable finishes
  • Flexible seating
  • Practical storage runs

03

A business interior with atmosphere and flow.

TaskMake a business space feel welcoming while still working for staff, service flow and brand presence.

SolutionShape the layout around how customers move, where they pause, and material choices that make the brand feel real — not just printed on a menu.

  • Clear customer journey
  • Brand-led material palette
  • Lighting for mood and work

    Realistic visuals so you can see and approve the direction before anything gets built. Less guesswork, fewer surprises on site.

How we work

Four stages, one clear path

  1. 01

    Discovery & brief

    We visit the space (or review plans if it's early), talk through how you want to use it, your budget and timeline. No jargon — just a clear picture of what you need.

  2. 02

    Concept & planning

    Layouts, zoning, moodboards and material direction. We agree on the vision before detailed drawings start — so you're not paying for changes you didn't sign up for.

  3. 03

    Design development

    Detailed drawings, specifications, furniture, finishes and lighting — everything resolved and documented.

  4. 04

    Delivery & support

    We stay close through build and fit-out, answering questions from contractors and checking that what gets built matches what we designed.
