Residential Full-Service Interior Architecture & Design
We elevate where life happens.
Your home is where life happens. First birthdays, anniversaries, shared looks of love and laughter, and cookouts that will become legendary tales. These moments are enhanced when your space is designed with you in mind. Spaces that are functional, purpose-driven, inviting, meaningful, and fun. Spaces that transform your life.
“Amy and Sanja made something really special for us… This new home feels like a totally safe beautiful space for me. I am so excited to nest.”
Bridging the Gap Between Architecture & Interior Design
We’ve been doing this awhile, we know things get lost in the divide between interior design and architecture. We’ve bridged that to ensure your renovation or residential construction project stays seamless from start to finish.
We don’t just envision the final space; we consider how you will live in it. And during the process, we make home renovation easy, seamless, and even fun.
- Whether you’re a remodeling empty nester.
- Designing and building a custom home.
- Or renovating to make your space work better.
With decades of experience in all things design and construction, we are by your side from planning to completion. We anticipate obstacles – and there’s always an obstacle in construction – and we resolve them swiftly.
We are always 5 steps ahead, and always your advocate.
- Advocates for your home.
- Advocates for the space you and your family will occupy.
- Advocates for your future and how you grow into the space.
- Advocates for creating a home that works for you.
Every detail is thoughtfully considered, with the end goal of enhancing how you live and interact with your space, ensuring it grows with you over time.
Transforming Your Home Through Design & Architecture
Open space requires careful consideration: A delicate balance is necessary to achieve the right mix of flow and structure. The living areas in this waterfront property were almost too expansive, but with furnishings that foster connection, and design touches that create subtle boundaries, the home now has a sense of intimacy.
Artala is a team of interior architects and designers created by architectural designer Amy May, and we think renovations are fun! We look at a space holistically, consider your needs and goals for the space, and create space where others would say it was impossible.
Designing your ideal space is a collaborative process – we talk, we laugh, and we plan together. Your functional needs, your aesthetic, and your personality drive the project.
When you work with Artala, you work directly with us – Sanja & Amy. We are a two person team that handles it all. We thrive on challenges, because that’s where the magic truly happens, and we are always in your corner.
“Amy and Sanja were wonderful! They guided us through an extensive remodel of our home of 17 years. With their talent and experience, we ended up with our dream house. They did all the design for adding dormers to our bedrooms and a full redesign of our kitchen and all bathrooms. We appreciated how they listened to us and helped us keep within our budget. We have recommended them to friends and family and would definitely use them again.”

Interior Design That Feels Deeply Personal — Because It Is
Creating a home you love isn’t about following trends — it’s about uncovering what feels true to you. At Artala, we offer full service interior design and architectural design services, blending architecture, interior design, and thoughtful craftsmanship to shape spaces that are as beautiful as they are personal.
Founder Amy May brings over two decades of experience in interior design and interior architecture — but what sets her work apart is what happens long before the drawings begin. She listens. She guides. She helps you see your vision more clearly — then brings it to life with care, creativity, and expertise.
Designer Sanja brings a fresh, fashion-forward perspective and a love of craftsmanship to every project. With an eye for detail and a passion for layered, personal spaces, she draws inspiration from both interiors and fashion — mixing textures, playing with contrast, and sourcing pieces that feel collected and soulful. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and always grounded in the belief that your home should reflect your story.
Because the art of living well starts with a home that feels unmistakably yours.
