Designing Space, Self, and Stories
A holistic design studio rooted in intention, balance and beauty.
Philosophy
SakinaMa exists to restore peace, intention, and spiritual alignment to the spaces we inhabit. Rooted in Islamic principles of Sakinah (divine peace in Islam) + Ma (the Japanese concept of negative space, interval, or pause), SakinaMa approaches design as a quiet discipline rather than a visual performance. Each space is shaped with restraint, purpose, and reverence—honoring light, direction, material, and negative space as active participants in daily life. In a world of excess and noise, SakinaMa offers environments and experiences that support reflection, intention, and a deeper connection to self, culture, and The Divine.
