The designers and their approach
Every design is drawn up by Andrew Azzopardi and Josmar Cordina themselves, and both stay personally involved from the first needs assessment through to installation and the final finishes. The studio's guiding idea is that good design captures the spirit of the client and the essence of the space.
Their view is that planning a property starts with gathering the client's ideas and aspirations, then interpreting them in a way that is both artistic and practical. Careful attention goes to lighting, layout and space, so that the finished home or workplace is comfortable to use as well as good to look at.
How a project begins
A professional surveyor measures the property and detailed photographs are taken, and everything is then drawn to scale as the foundation for the design. The studio gathers your vision, preferences and aspirations, and each design is planned, tailored and studied thoroughly, which takes time.
Video consultations cover layout practicality, lighting and spatial flow, a real advantage if you are buying from the UK and cannot visit often. Our Malta relocation guide and tax guide for UK nationals cover the wider planning for a move or purchase, and our guide to working remotely in Malta is useful if your new home will include an office.
Residential, hospitality, commercial and corporate work
Residential design means shaping homes to fit how people live, move and interact, beyond simply choosing furniture or colours. The gallery shows bedrooms, open plan living, roof gardens, apartment blocks, town houses, classic villas and a house of character, as well as pools, landscapes and outdoor entertaining areas. If sunny terraces matter to you, see our Malta weather guide.
In hospitality, the designers bring experience in special events to restaurants, bars and hotels, working on materials, textures and atmosphere from concept to finish. Planning a visit? Browse hotels in Sliema and Gżira or where to stay in Malta.
Commercial design is led by brand identity, functional spaces and close collaboration with the business, and corporate design covers offices from small suites to high-rise workplaces that must be efficient, functional and safe. Projects include the Fort Business Centre at Mriehel, among several commercial and corporate schemes in the gallery. Companies setting up locally can read about the corporate tax structure.
The studio describes interior design as a social activity that brings people together and helps them share ideas in a creative way, and that outlook shapes how it listens to clients. Furniture design and home decor sit alongside the interiors, so the same team can plan the architecture of a room, the pieces that furnish it and the finishing touches that make it feel like home.
Working from Gżira
The studio's base in Gżira puts it within easy reach of the capital, and our Valletta guide shows what is on the doorstep. If you are new to the islands, about Malta gives a good overview of the country before you commit to a project.
The designers' advice to prospective clients is to remember that the work is not just doing up a house but creating a beautiful and loving home. To discuss a project, use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to the studio.
