The Story of Mardesign

With over 15 years of design experience, creative thinker, and founder of Mardesign, Raquel Aparicio, understands the benefits of engaging, high-quality design that creates comfortable and inspirational homes and workspaces.

Raquel is a qualified architect that has spent her career sharing a natural talent for interior design. Known for creating spaces that are not only eye-catching but functional, Raquel spent many years designing hospitality projects such as 5-star hotels, restaurants, spas, gentlemen’s clubs, lobby areas, and high-end residential projects.

Through the variety of projects Raquel played a part in, she was able to garner a wealth of experience and expertise in making spaces work and feel better. Helped by a commercially-driven mindset, Raquel is uniquely placed to help clients maximize ROI, elevate a property’s performance and increase investor’s wealth using design as a platform.

After years of working on a range of projects, Raquel founded Mardesign, a specialist studio that focuses on interior design for property investors. The firm has now helped hundreds of clients create impressive spaces, with the signature focused yet clever, functional yet fun Mardesign touch.

The Mardesign difference

Mardesign is on a mission to create stylish spaces that tenants will love to call ‘their space.’ For us, this means ensuring a high return on investment, reduced voids, high occupancy rates, more long-term tenancies, and increased property value for our clients.
