About
De Zande Studio is an interior architecture and design practice based in the heart of the Barossa Valley, South Australia, founded by Andrea van der Zande.
Andrea’s experience as a Project Manager at Thinc Projects and as an Associate and Senior Interior Designer at JBG Architects brings a rare blend of strategic oversight and creative vision. Her work inspired the creation of a studio that thoughtfully balances design integrity with hands-on project delivery.
Inspired by regional South Australia, the studio seeks out projects beyond the city limits—those grounded in place, character, and community. From renovations to new builds, De Zande Studio focuses on residential and small commercial projects, creating spaces that are considered, practical, and enduring.
Ethos
At the heart of our studio lies a quiet devotion to authenticity—a belief that truly beautiful spaces are those that reflect the essence of the people who inhabit them. We design with honesty and intention, weaving personal narratives into environments that feel both deeply lived-in and elegantly resolved. Rooted in respect for architectural and historical context, our work honours the character of each space while gently resisting the pull of passing trends. We see design as an act of care—one that nurtures the soul as much as it delights the senses. Guided by creativity, we approach each challenge with curiosity and imagination, crafting thoughtful, enduring solutions where form and function live in harmony. Above all, we cherish collaboration—inviting our clients and trusted partners into the process as valued co-creators, ensuring every project is a shared journey towards something truly meaningful.
Services
Interior Architecture
New Builds: Partnering with clients, architects and builders we shape interior spaces that celebrate and elevate the essence of new architecture.
Renovations: We specialise in breathing new life into existing spaces—whether a single room or an entire building—crafting interiors that reflect our clients’ vision while gently preserving the soul and character of the original structure.
Material and Finish Selection: We gently guide our clients on a journey through textures and tones, from flooring and tiles to the delicate hues of paint, crafting a palette that brings their vision to life.
Custom Design: From bespoke kitchens and bathrooms to custom wardrobes and built in joinery, we craft and realise both structural and aesthetic transformations that reflect your unique vision.
Interior Decoration
We thoughtfully select furniture, lighting, rugs, and accessories, ensuring each piece harmonises with the space’s overall aesthetic. Our work extends to designing bespoke window treatments, overseeing custom upholstery, and curating art collections—infusing every environment with personality, warmth, and meaning.
Guided Interior Design Support
For clients who don’t require our full-service interior design offering, we provide a personalised design consultation tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re at the beginning of a project or simply looking for expert advice along the way, this flexible service offers thoughtful guidance from Dezande Studio.
It begins with an open-format video consultation where we explore your project, understand your challenges, and identify the areas where support is needed. From this collaborative session, you’ll receive a bespoke design package informed by our conversation—complete with exclusive access to our trusted trade partners and resources.
