Studio Jigen is a space design studio with a global perspective based in Australia.
Our design philosophy, combining a global perspective with local identities, is developed from our experiences. Since its foundation in 2019, we've earned recognition through awards and a steady stream of quality project commissions.
With any project, clients have their own stories and visions. We approach design as an iterative process, exploring with clients and ensuring we convey new dimensions to their visions.
We believe that big plans always begin with small seeds of thought. We help you visualise and realise your grand visions.
