Beauty is a force of nature. We are changed in its presence.
I create bespoke interior architecture — and beauty is my deepest conviction.
Living in connection with beauty changes people. It relaxes them, connects them, reminds them of what matters.
When friends visited us in Spain, they never left when they planned to. Someone always ended up in the hammock. The fridge always ended up empty.
That was not coincidence. That was design carrying a clear intention – welcome, this is your home for a while.
Hello, I am Gabriela
To become the interior architect I am today, I needed to live first. With no hotel for miles, I once slept in a police station in remote Northeast India — and woke up in an Oberoi suite the following week. Sitting in silence for weeks with nuns in Bhutan. Abandoning a sailing trip rounding Cape Horn — out of fear, and without regret.
Along the way, I learned the art of hosting: creating a stage for others. The importance of that principle never left me.
These experiences taught me how people live and love. How light falls differently in a mountain monastery than on a Mediterranean terrace. How a space can hold stillness, or wildness, or belonging — depending on nothing more than proportion, material, and intention.
Depth is not a method. It is the only direction that ever interested me.
My architectural references range from John Lautner and Louis Kahn to Marcio Kogan — from the warmth of Brazilian Modernism to the clarity of Mid-century Architecture and elegance of Art Deco. Design languages that share one thing: they age with grace.
For almost three decades, I have shaped spaces — private homes, hospitality projects, historic restorations — across Europe, India, California, and beyond. Trained as an interior architect, colour consultant, and lighting designer, I know what happens on real building sites, with real craftspeople, under real pressure.
Being neurodivergent means perceiving the world visually before finding words for it. Where others see an empty room, there are already layers of light, texture, and depth waiting to be understood. Listening beyond what is said — to what a space needs, and what a person cannot quite articulate — is simply how I work.
That is what I bring to every project.
Creating beauty is an act of love.
‒ Auria Fizz ‒
Creating beauty is no small task, for beauty is perceived by the mind and understood through feeling.

What Clients Experienced
Kerstin & Helgo, Private, New Build, Hamburg
You accompanied us throughout the entire process – from the floor plan to moving in – with heart and expertise. With great dedication, you successfully advocated for the implementation of our individual wishes. Developing the intuitive moodboard and the colour and material concept was an adventure with a surprising and beautiful result. Our home is our happy harbour.
Jean Claude, Private, Restoration & Extension, Andalusia
You planned the renovation of our villa by renown architect Antonio Bonet Castellana from the 1980s. With great sensitivity and strong design ideas, you adapted the interior architecture and furnishings without diminishing the iconic value of the house. This, together with your planning for the outdoor area, has significantly increased the value of the property.
Goethe Institut, Delhi, India
Yesterday was the opening — and what a joy it was. We received wonderful feedback from our clients and partners. Once again, a heartfelt thank you for your exceptional work and for everything you contributed to bringing this project to life so beautifully.
Hansainvest Real Assets, Commercial Properties, Frankfurt & Hamburg
In various commercial projects, you demonstrated your artistic and practical planning talent. You advanced the implementations in a solution‒oriented way and within budget. We came to know and value you as a competent and reliable partner.
Tatjana & Andrea, Winery, New Extension, Catalonia
Through the redesign of the spaces implementing a new colour concept, a light and constantly perceptible energy has moved into my home. It feels lighter, more vibrant, and somehow more right. The change is difficult to put into words, but its impact is deep.
Katrin & Karsten, Private, Renovation, Hamburg
Your work stands out through your sense of composition and style. In your particular workshop, you took us on a journey. Since your excellent performance, we truly love being at home. Our apartment fits us perfectly.
