Carmen Barcos

Profile

Interior designer with over 3 years of experience across residential and commercial projects in Europe and Australia. I work across the full process, developing and iterating technical precision alongside the visual language until the space comes together cohesively. Kitchen and bathroom design appeals to me for exactly that reason, the constraints make it a puzzle worth solving. My technical drawings are thorough, and I take the same level of care in the early creative stages, from mood and material to the overall atmosphere of a space. I am also drawn to projects where design serves a specific moment or narrative. I have built my experience across different countries and studios, usually from scratch, which has made me very adaptable.
