At Sona Studio, we design spaces for living, working, and playing.
Creating a space, regardless of its size, is a complex journey. It begins with a sketch and evolves through idea development, planning, construction, and ultimately, the completion of a beautiful building or interior. Our goal is to guide clients through these unfamiliar territories, ensuring each project maximizes its uniqueness while meticulously crafting every design aspect.
Sustainable design is central to our practice, focusing on minimal environmental impact and maximum human comfort. Our aim is to create beautiful, livable spaces that embody timeless, uncomplicated architecture.
Founded in 2015 by Janson Sadler, Sona Studio is based in Sydney. We offer design services for commercial, hospitality, and residential projects, including new builds, alterations and additions, renovations, and interior design.
Sona Studio’s founding director, Janson Sadler, seemed destined for a career in architecture. Born in Italy, her early exposure to design and a natural affinity for the field led her to pursue architectural studies in Paris. She earned her master’s degree from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville (ENSAPB).
After graduation, Janson joined Chaix & Morel et Associés in Paris. Her desire for inspiration from diverse cultures and countries propelled her to travel extensively throughout Europe, Central America, and the United States. This global perspective has deeply informed her design philosophy, integrating a wide range of artistic and architectural influences.
Building on her experience in Parisian architectural and interior design firms, Janson ventured to Asia and Australia before ultimately settling in Sydney. As an associate at Studio Johnston, she contributed to several award-winning projects. Before founding Sona Studio in 2015, she also collaborated with Durbach Block Jaggers Architects.
Today, Janson’s work at Sona Studio reflects her extensive experience and global outlook, combining international influences with innovative design to create unique architectural solutions.
