Studio Kosma is a full-service interior design studio based in Los Angeles, working across residential, hospitality, and commercial projects. With an architecture-first approach, we design spaces that balance form and function while telling a larger story.

Guided by collaboration and rooted in narrative, our work sets the stage for meaningful moments - environments that are soulful, transportive, and deeply lived in.

OUR APPROACH

Based in Los Angeles, Studio Kosma specializes in high-end residential and boutique hospitality projects defined by meticulous detail and customization. Led by founder and design principal Kara Piepmeyer, the studio is known for its ability to translate narrative into tailored elements—from bespoke furnishings and finishes to one-of-a-kind architectural details. With a trusted network of fabricators, artisans, and vendors, Studio Kosma excels in sourcing unique materials and executing thoughtful designs with precision. Offering full-service design from concept to completion, the studio creates spaces that are soulful, enduring, and distinctly their own.

At Studio Kosma, design is both narrative and rigor. Each project is envisioned as a transportive experience, where atmosphere and detail shape how a space is lived in.

Beyond concept, the studio excels in technical execution—producing precise drawings, managing complex timelines, and troubleshooting on site with confidence. The result is interiors that marry soul and sophistication with the clarity of thoughtful craft.
