A practice built on listening
Nimmo Design Studio was founded on a deep appreciation for the emotional impact of thoughtfully designed spaces — and on the belief that architecture, interiors and landscape belong to a single conversation.

Founded by Shailza Sharma, the studio emerged from a deep appreciation for the emotional impact of thoughtfully designed spaces. With over a decade of experience spanning interior design, architecture and residential projects, the practice is guided by a belief that meaningful, lived-in environments are created when architecture, interiors and landscape are considered as one cohesive experience.
Taking a comfortable and context-driven approach, each project is shaped by the unique characteristics of its site, the rhythms of daily life, and the relationship between people and place. Through considered spatial planning, material selection and attention to detail, the studio creates environments that foster a stronger connection to nature, encourage healthy living, and support a more conscious approach to sustainability.
Rather than applying a predetermined aesthetic, the studio seeks to create spaces that feel calm, enduring and deeply connected to their surroundings. The result is thoughtful architecture and interiors that balance function and feeling, enriching everyday life through a seamless relationship between indoors and out.
Six commitments that shape every project
We start with people
Great design begins with understanding the people, routines and experiences that shape a space.
One connected experience
We create cohesive environments where architecture, interiors and landscape are considered as a single, connected experience.
Closer to nature
We design spaces that strengthen the connection to nature and support wellbeing in everyday life.
Personal and lived-in
We aim to create spaces that feel personal and lived-in — reflective of memories, values, relationships and everyday experience.
Enduring by intent
We value thoughtful, enduring design that remains relevant and meaningful for years to come.
Clarity through dialogue
We believe collaboration and clear communication are essential to achieving considered design outcomes.
Our mission is to create thoughtful, human-centred environments that positively influence how people live, feel and connect. Through the seamless integration of architecture, interiors and landscape, we design spaces that are not only functional and timeless, but emotionally meaningful.
We are committed to exploring the synergy between architecture and interiors, because we believe the two are intrinsically linked in shaping healthy human experiences.
As the studio evolves, we aim to be recognised for our holistic approach to design — with a specialised consideration of landscape — fostering wellbeing and sustainable living while contributing to a more emotionally intelligent future for the industry.

Every project begins with a conversation
We work with design-conscious people seeking more than a visually appealing space. They value thoughtful, meaningful design and are willing to invest in environments that support their lifestyle, wellbeing and long-term needs.
