Studio NiCHE is an interior architecture and design studio based in Malta, led by Martina Fenech Adami. Their work balances respect for historic and vernacular contexts with contemporary design thinking, often working on residential and commercial projects that require sensitivity to site, structure, and material. Their portfolio demonstrates a careful attention to detail, custom joinery, and a refined dialogue between old and new.
Their recent projects include the transformation of traditional Maltese townhouses and compact adaptive reuse interventions—where they reinvent the spatial logic of heritage shells through strategic light, texture, and form. They aim to create spaces that feel timeless yet tuned to modern living.
LOCATION: St. Julian’s, Malta
