Maria Khouri

Designing and transforming spaces is a deep-seated passion that has been with Maria since childhood. Through her experiences growing up in Lebanon, amid the complexities of a civil war, and immigrating to the United States, she learned the true meaning of making a house a home, no matter where you are.

Her design philosophy is rooted in a relentless pursuit of beauty and functionality, honed through years of global exploration and a passion for luxurious textiles, dramatic lighting, fine art, and vintage furniture. She fuses Middle Eastern and European aesthetics with insights from her extensive travels, her design ethos is a testament to an open mind and a diverse perspective.

Based in San Francisco for over two decades, her portfolio encompasses both residential and commercial spaces, showcasing a comprehensive understanding of design solutions at all scales. Every project is an opportunity to blend aesthetic appeal with practical functionality.

Central to her approach is a profound respect for each space and its inhabitants. She believes in creating environments that are not only visually stunning but also deeply personal. Collaboration is key, ensuring that each design reflects the unique essence of those who live or work within it.

Her work has been featured in Luxe, SF Magazine, Traditional Home, CA Home + Design, Rue, and the Wall Street Journal, showcasing the breadth and depth of my experience in balancing innovative design with meticulous attention to detail.
