About
stüdyo.studio is a London-based multidisciplinary design practice founded by Ziya Mustafa. The studio works across spatial design, operational transformation and brand development.
Ziya studied Interior Design Environmental Architectures at Ravensbourne College of Design, developing an understanding of how spaces influence behaviour, movement and experience. His education provided a foundation in spatial thinking, materiality and the relationship between people and their environments, while his career has taken that knowledge far beyond the traditional boundaries of interior design.
Over two decades, Ziya has worked across hospitality, events, nightlife, retail, small batch production, and creative businesses. Working across these different environments has developed a particular sensitivity to detail and an understanding that the success of a space or business often depends on the things people do not immediately see, the movement of people and products, the clarity of a process, the organisation of a team and the consistency of an experience.
The studio’s work moves between physical environments, operational systems and brand identity because these areas rarely exist independently, by looking at these relationships together, the aim is not simply to make something look better, but to understand what already exists, identify what is not working and develop practical, considered solutions that can grow with the people and businesses using them.

Spatial Design
We design spaces around the realities of how they will be used, our approach to spatial design begins by understanding the environment, the people within it, and the practical requirements of everyday use. This can involve rethinking an existing space, developing a new environment from the ground up, or identifying opportunities within spaces that initially appear limited or unconventional.

Operational Transformation
Operational transformation focuses on understanding how a business currently works and identifying what needs to change before it moves into its next stage. We work with businesses to assess their physical environment, workflows and day-to-day processes, identifying where time, space or resources are being lost. From there, we develop practical improvements that support the way teams actually work.

Brand Storytelling
Brand storytelling begins with a process of discovery. We work with clients to look beneath the surface of their existing business, product or service and identify the ideas, values and characteristics that genuinely define it. Once these foundations have been established, they can be translated into a practical framework for the wider brand.
