— The Standard
Twenty-five years.
Ten people. One signature.
Maja signs every drawing. She walks the apartment with you. She handles everything from design to the final touch. She is on site every day until the keys turn.
Maya’s Homes is an interior design studio that doesn’t hire subcontractors. Every trade is on the studio’s payroll. The person who draws the plans is the person on the floor when the tile is laid. The home isn’t assembled. It’s considered.
- One signatureEvery drawing, every detail, held by one person from first sketch to final key.
- Ten in-houseCarpentry, electrics, masonry, plaster, plumbing — every trade your home needs is already inside the practice, on one payroll, never subcontracted.

— The Approach
One hand.
One eye.
One signature.
The rooms Maja hands over feel composed because they were composed — by one person, from the first conversation to the final coat.
She draws the room. She handles everything from design to the final touch. She runs every trade in-house.
The result is an interior with a single voice, the way a great novel has a single author.
“Every renovation I run as if it were going to be mine. Which is why I’m on site every day.”
— Maja Milič
— The transformations
Six transformations from the studio.
Each one Maja drew. Each one she was on, every day. Each one looks nothing like the room she walked into.

— The Craft
100% in-house. Always.
The plumber, the joiner, the tiler, the electrician — every one of them works for Maja, and for Maja alone.
“Subcontracting would be easier and cheaper. It is also not how Maya’s Homes works — and never will. The precision and quality I promise cannot come from someone else’s hand.”
— Maja Milič
Drawn and laid. One hand.
Every craftsperson on a Maya’s Homes project has been with Maja for years. The team that builds your home is one she trusts with her own.
One number. The same names.
When something needs to change, you call Maja. The person who shows up is the same person who built the room — chosen by her, kept by her, known to her by name for years.
Maya’s Homes never really leaves.
A bulb in year three. A hinge in year five. The people who built your home are the people who maintain it — and Maja walks back through the door with them.
— Local mastery
A Cascais practice.
Heating works best when the house holds it. Maya’s Homes designs renovations that do — properly insulated walls, no infiltrations, no surprises years down the line. The bills stay low. The comfort stays high. Good insulation is rare. Water leaks are common, ignored until they can’t be. The studio traces every infiltration, seals every wall, targets a high energy rating. Through every Portuguese rain, Maya’s Homes’ houses have stayed dry inside.
“In winter, my clients are in short sleeves. That’s the standard I build to.”
— Maja Milič
— What Maya’s Homes offers
From design to the
final coat of paint.
We don’t act as a middleman between you and a contractor. We are the team. From the first sketch of the floorplan to the final coat of plaster, every decision runs through one studio. We draw it, we cost it, we build it.
Full home renovations
Comprehensive interventions for apartments and villas. Designed with restraint, built with precision, and managed entirely in-house from the first sketch to the final handover.
Kitchens & bathrooms
The spaces that anchor a home. We focus on custom joinery, natural materials, and exacting technical standards to create rooms that endure.
Turnkey relocation
A quiet landing in Cascais. From property sourcing to the final piece of furniture, we hand over a completed home before you even arrive.
Structural & permits
The invisible work. We handle complex structural alterations, heritage preservation requirements, and all municipal licensing natively within the studio.
