A New Chapter

The journey to choosing a new name for our studio was anything but simple. Working closely with Jana+Koos, who led the rebrand, and our marketing team Jackson Street Studio, we explored many directions.

It became clear that “studio” had to be part of the name - a reflection of the collaborative, creative nature of our practice.

But what could stand alongside it with strength and meaning?

The answer emerged in StudioLandt. The word Landt draws from Weylandt, honouring where we come from, while also standing for land, context, and place. More than just a name, it signals what we’re building: a practice that honours design, creativity, and meaning.

Intimidated at first, we started to unpack the meaning, and the name began to resonate – it felt grounded, confident, and true. A call to Jana+Koos confirmed it: they loved it as much as we did. From there, StudioLandt took shape.

The new identity reflects this philosophy. Earthy colours, crafted typography, and tactile artworks dissolve the boundaries between build and nature, creating a visual language that is both confident and harmonious. It embodies the way we design: with thought, craft, and a deep sensitivity to place.

At the heart of StudioLandt are our values:

  • Connection – every space begins with context, linking people to nature, to each other, and to themselves.

  • Craft – from handmade details to bespoke furniture, every element is considered and purposeful.

  • Authenticity – rare and soulful, our projects celebrate materials and processes that stand the test of time.

  • Vision – blending creativity with care, we strive to create spaces that are both striking and timeless.

It became clear that light itself must become part of the architecture - guiding orientation

Together, these values shape who we are and how we show up in the world. They are the foundation of StudioLandt and the lens through which every project takes form.
