María completely transformed my children's rooms. She not only considered aesthetics but also functionality: safe spaces, full of color, and very practical for everyday use. What I liked most was how she managed to reflect each child's personality in their own space. Now my children love spending time in their rooms.Gustavo M. · Florida, USA

20+ years creating luxury spaces
Let's design your space together
Architecture and interiors with a Latin soul. We design calm, warm, timeless homes, in Florida or virtually wherever you live.
I believe everyone deserves a space that lifts their life. Transforming a place also means transforming lives.
Every project is more than design: it turns homes and offices into places of peace, success and memories, joining the beauty of luxury with the function that brings wellbeing.

Meet Maria Lucena
I am María Lucena, a Colombian architect based in Florida, and for more than 20 years I have been involved in every stage of a project: from the first drawing to the final delivery, leading designs and managing the execution of luxury residential and commercial projects.
That experience taught me that details change everything: the light, the texture, the perfect material in the right place. That's why today, through ML Architectural + Interior Design Studio, I put all my passion, sensitivity, and knowledge into creating spaces that reflect your essence, elevate your everyday life, and transcend time.
- Luxury residences and high-end spaces
- Space planning, colour and materials
- From the first sketch to the final handover
- Bilingual service, Spanish and English
Homes that finally feel like theirs
Working with María Fernanda was an incredible experience. She gave my room a completely new look, full of harmony and style. She knew how to combine colors, furniture, and details in a way that made the space feel more welcoming and elegant at the same time.
