THE STUDIO

Alive Design is a Grand Cayman–based interior architecture studio shaping luxury residences, contemporary workplaces, and developer amenities. We translate context and craft into spaces of quiet confidence—useful, enduring, and refined. Our atelier balances architectural rigour with human warmth, pairing material intelligence with AI-enhanced visualisation so clients decide swiftly and build with certainty.

We are a small, highly specialised studio—comprising architects, interior designers, and collaborators—drawing from decades of experience across hospitality, residential, commercial, and cultural projects. We listen closely, edit precisely, and deliver with care.

We collaborate with ambitious clients to create spaces that feel inevitable: considered plans, disciplined detailing, and light that reveals form. From concept through construction documents, procurement, and installation, our team maintains a consistent design language at every touchpoint.

An atelier approach guides each project. We evaluate the programme and flow, refine materials and lighting, develop prototypes through physical and AI-assisted visuals, and coordinate meticulously on site. The result is a design of lasting quality—spaces that look stunning from day one and continue to perform well after ten years.

Founded by Kendra Ador-Agramonte, an interior architect with 29 years of experience and a background with global firms including HOK International (London), the studio blends deep technical expertise with a strong artistic sensibility.

We specialise in:

  • High-end residential

  • Office fit-outs

  • Commercial and retail interiors

  • FF&E and procurement

  • Lighting and signage coordination

  • AI-enhanced workflows for faster, clearer visualisation

Our projects

Interior architecture is about more than aesthetics — it’s about creating spaces that change how people feel.

At Alive Design, we design around:

  • Natural light

  • Honest materials

  • Balanced proportions

  • Functionality that disappears into the background

  • Comfort + wellbeing

  • Refined simplicity

A modern living room with a light-colored marble floor, blue and gold decor items including a round coffee table, candles, a vase, a decorative bowl with white flowers, and a blue rug with geometric patterns.

We believe luxury is the result of:

clarity
intention
craftsmanship
feeling

Not unnecessary complication.

  • Dream it.

  • A collage of interior design and home renovation items, including hardware handles, light switches, moldings, a window with a child outside, a corner of a room with baseboards, various cabinet handles, and a modern living room with large windows and black roller shades.

    Define it.

  • Modern, open-plan living and dining room with a chandelier, bookshelf, television, and dining table set with plates and a floral centerpiece.

    Grow it.

  • A retail store with a navy blue wall behind checkout counters, displaying clothing on the left and accessories on tables in the foreground. Two employees are behind the counters, and there is a monitor showing a speed gauge. The store has ceiling lights, a neon sign that says "take your fun seriously," and a brightly colored section to the right labeled "Women" with shoes and a digital display.

    Sell it.

  • 3D floor plan of a modern apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, dining area, kitchen, bathroom, and a balcony.
