Charlotte De Caluwe
Interior architect

Charlotte De Caluwe is a Belgian interior architect based in Barcelona, where she founded her own studio with a focus on creating timeless and soulful spaces. Her work spans both residential and hospitality projects, with ongoing commissions in Bruges, Barcelona and the UAE.

After graduating with a Master in Interior Architecture from the University of Antwerp magna cum laude and completing an Erasmus at Elisava School of Design in Barcelona, Charlotte gained experience at renowned studios such as Studio Andrew Trotter, TENarchitects, Studio Corkinho and Dieter Vander Velpen Architects. These collaborations shaped her sensitivity to detail, craftsmanship and the dialogue between architecture and context.

Her philosophy is rooted in respect: respect for the existing qualities of a building, for its history and for the natural environment in which it stands. Every project begins with what is already there, uncovering the essence of a space and translating it into a contemporary narrative. She believes architecture should remain as natural and humble as possible, using honest materials that age with grace and designs that are rooted in their context while looking toward the future.

Charlotte’s work balances clarity and warmth, simplicity and depth. She creates meaningful spaces that are serene yet full of character, grounded in nature, made to last and always tailored to the lives of those who inhabit them. With a practice that bridges Belgium, Spain and the Middle East, she brings an international perspective while maintaining a deeply personal approach, ensuring every project reflects both the client’s needs and her own belief in architecture with a soul.
