Carla Karsakis


Principal and Founder

With a deep passion for design and sustainability, Etica Studio is dedicated to creating beautiful, thoughtful, and meaningful homes that reflect the unique personalities and needs of each client. My work is rooted in the belief that well-designed spaces have the power to uplift, inspire, and profoundly support those who inhabit them. 

I’ve always been captivated by the energy of spaces and their transformative impact on our well-being. Drawing inspiration from nature and practices like Feng Shui, my design philosophy centres on harmony, balance, and a deep connection to the natural world. Passive solar design, natural light, and rich, textural interiors that radiate warmth are cornerstones of my approach. 

This passion is grounded in both academic study—through Architecture and Sustainability—and hands-on experience developing my own projects, as well as those I’ve collaboratively brought to life with clients. These experiences have given me a well-rounded perspective, both as a designer and as someone who has personally navigated the design and building process. 

I believe a home is far more than just a structure—it’s a sanctuary that supports rest, recovery, and connection. When designed with intention, a home enhances daily life, nurtures mental well-being, minimizes environmental impact, and grows in long-term value. 

Every project is approached with a humble, collaborative spirit. I love working closely with creative clients to transform their ideas into spaces that are deeply personal, imaginative, and truly unique. 







We are inspired by the Whadjuk Noongar people as Traditional Custodians of this land.
We are in awe of their deep culture and connection to Country.
