Based in Hobart, IN-TERIA is an interior architecture and design studio led by interior designer Karryn Dargie and registered architect Dean Baird. Our practice spans residential, hospitality, retail, and workplace sectors, unified by a commitment to intentional design.
We are fascinated by the "life within"—the profound way our surroundings shape how we feel, behave, and connect. We act as agents of change, reinventing environments to support the daily rituals of a well-made life. To us, a well-made life is one of purpose; where spaces are rigorously planned, decisions are considered, and materials are chosen to last.
By balancing the poetic with the pragmatic, we create enduring interiors that gratify the senses, honour the Tasmanian landscape, and provide lasting value for the moments that matter.
[Crafting] Tasmanian spaces for a well-made life.
About
What is a well-made life to you?
Is it a spot in the morning sun for a cup of tea? Perhaps the view of distant hills and the row of Casuarinas you planted over a decade ago? Is it that you just love arriving at your desk each morning because you enjoy the expansive view and cool south light in your workspace?
Or maybe you love the warm tones of timber, the muted sound of diners and the feel of the earthenware bowls at the café that you’ve owned for years.
Is it the sound of your daughter practising the piano whilst the sea breeze billows the curtain, or the smell of garlic and butter on the stove as you pour a glass of red for your oldest friend?
We help you create spaces for these precious moments.
We believe that beauty is more than skin deep. Our goal is to create spaces tailored to your needs, preferences, and budget - spaces that balance the poetic with the pragmatic.
We understand how the environments we inhabit shape our experience of life. They can nurture, shield, and uplift us.
Whether you are re-imagining an existing space or creating something entirely new, we act as your agents of change.
Our process involves peeling back the layers to reveal a structure's honest character, weaving in a new narrative through context, functionality, and atmosphere.
Let’s build real value together.
