ABOUT

Studio STE was formed by Rebecca Sterling, AIA LEED AP to bridge the gap between high end Architecture, Interiors and Sustainability.

We work closely with individuals and brands to define and refine their "DNA", directly translating it into a unique user experience and architectural aesthetic. 

We prioritize natural materials, passive strategies and systems, along side design efficiency and simplicity. 

Our work integrates craftsmanship, a strong relationship between interior and exterior, and a deep appreciation and curiosity for the project at hand.

We hope to join you on your next project!

BRANDS

Below are just a few of the brands that we have had the pleasure of working with:
