we are gaia works.

clay plasters and natural stucco in contemporary architecture? we do that.

a feast for the senses

the term eartherior design captures our approach pretty well. combine earth and interior design, and you get a space that's a feast for the senses. we only use materials that come from the earth and stay as unprocessed as possible — clays, marble powders, sands, plants, occasionally lime, and more.

bringing the vision to life

  1. 01

    consultation

    not sure if natural materials are even the right choice for your space? let's talk it through, and we'll tell you honestly whether it makes sense.

  2. 02

    the vision is born

    not sure whether to put clay, a special lime stucco, or straight-up tadelakt on the wall? we'll talk through the ideas with you or your architect and find the material, colour and texture that actually suits the space. trends can wait.

  3. 03

    realization

    paper can take anything, a wall can't. that's why we prefer to carry out the polished design ourselves — from preparing the base, through applying every layer, to the final pass of the trowel, or stone.

  4. 04

    lifetime service

    it doesn't end when the door clicks shut behind us. we're still here — for questions, small repairs, advice on caring for the surface. we're confident we'll still be here in a hundred years.
