INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO

MARIA LUCIANA VIOLA

About me.

I am an architect and interior designer. My focus is on creating environmentally responsible, functional, and aesthetically appealing spaces. Sustainability is an essential part of my work.

I am originally from Argentina and now based in New York City, where I am pursuing a Master of Professional Studies in Sustainable Environments. I initially worked as an architect on several residential projects in Buenos Aires, focusing on both single-family and multi-family housing. At these firms, I realized how crucial it is to think about sustainable strategies from the very beginning of a project. Over time, this sparked a stronger interest in interior design and a stronger focus on this aspect of architecture, while still integrating sustainability into every stage of the design process.

Before moving to New York, I worked at an interior design studio, where I explored various materials and techniques, including sustainable options. That experience deepened my interest in the sustainable aspects of design and motivated the decision to study in a city known for its leadership in design and innovation.

I enjoy researching new ideas and innovative materials that improve spaces and align with the people who will inhabit them. My goal is to be part of projects that combine creativity, functionality, and sustainability, without overlooking the diversity and unique needs of each space.

This cohousing project proposes a sustainable living model that fosters community, connection, collaboration and well-being. Located in Brooklyn, it integrates passive design strategies, low-impact materials, and flexible common spaces to promote resilience and inclusivity in urban living. Guided by the principles of environmental and social sustainability, the design encourages shared responsibility, interaction, and a sense of belonging.

Nordelta Residence is an interior design project that reinterprets the connection between home and nature. Designed for a residence under construction, the project highlights noble materials such as wood, marble, and stone, harmonizing with an internal patio filled with lush vegetation. Each space: bedrooms, bathrooms, living room, kitchen, and dining area is conceived as an extension of the landscape, integrating organic textures and a warm palette.
