Soft Spaces

DESIGN STUDIO
Soft Spaces is an Ericeira based interior design studio that creates calm, tactile interiors with a focus on balance, natural materials and wellbeing.
The studio works on homes, guesthouses, and hospitality projects, bringing together spatial direction, sourcing, styling, and on-site coordination, guiding projects from start to finish.
The foundation of the philosophy of Soft Spaces lies in nature and the principles of Buddhism and Vāstu Shastra.
Ann-Sofie Paternoster is the founder of Soft spaces.
With over ten years of international experience in architecture and interior design, she brings a refined spatial sensibility.
Originally from Belgium, Ann-Sofie worked in architecture studio’s in Belgium and Berlin before relocating to Portugal for a slower, more intentional way of living.
She creates spaces shaped by light, material, and intuituion, inviting connection to self and other, and a mindful way of living.

NATURAL CONNECTION
Intuitively we know that exposure to nature grounds us, creates balance and vitality.
Soft Spaces creates interiors that feel connected to nature, climate, and daily rhythm.
Through natural materials, soft light, honest textures, and a careful relationship between inside and outside, we shape spaces that feel calm, grounded, and easy to inhabit.
