Architect and interior designer Cristina Felipe is the founder of Crearte, a studio based in Madrid from which she develops residential and interior design projects characterized by serenity, warmth, and an attentive focus on essential details. Trained as an architect at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, she consolidated her professional practice by centering her work on the design of spaces that foster everyday well-being, treating light as a core material in the project, and cultivating a sensitive relationship between architecture, materials, and domestic life.
After several years of experience collaborating in different studios, she founded Estudio Crearte in 2013 as her own platform to explore a way of designing that always begins with people and their ways of inhabiting space. Her interiors are recognized for the softness of textures, the presence of natural materials, and a palette that privileges neutral tones and calm atmospheres. Her sensitivity to light, understood as the true protagonist of spaces, is revealed in her rejection of technical or decorative excesses: her projects seek clarity, balanced proportions, and the visual quiet that allows life itself to take center stage.
Crearte’s projects have been featured in publications such as Interiores, Arquitectura y Diseño, Manera Magazine and Ikigai Magazine. Renovations such as that of a luminous residence in La Moraleja, or interventions in apartments in the center of Madrid, demonstrate the coherence of her language: spaces born from a careful reading of their context, incorporating contemporary craftsmanship, and transforming into intimate, welcoming, and deeply inhabitable environments.
In Cristina Felipe’s work, interior architecture is presented as a silent art that accompanies life. Her studio conceives each project as an opportunity to create places in which to dwell with pleasure, where light, touch, and memory converse naturally. A serene, honest, and close aesthetic that understands the home as a refuge built from calm and attentive presence.
