About Us
At Alterra we offer Interior Design services and create artisan handmade products inspired by our founders' roots to Latin America and the Caribbean, along with the joy and magic of creating 3D forms from earth and water.
From a spatial design perspective, we know the importance of making your house feel like a home. Each client is unique, and requires a customized approach. We don't have a "style" because we believe that should be in line with each client's wants and needs. We specialize in new builds, renovations and finding unique furnishings for your home.
Each Alterra product in our studio is individually handmade with meticulous craftsmanship and care. Our purposeful designs are shaped to be a part of your home and your everyday rituals. At Alterra we know how important the little things are, from your favorite cup for your morning coffee or tea, to the beautiful little bowl that catches all your jewelry at the end of a long day.
We use our three guiding principles to create quality spaces and handmade products.
Purpose
Everything we make and select serves a purpose. We are sustainably focused, quality driven and consider function as important as beauty. We believe mindful moments allow joy and empowerment to blossom.
Joy
May the spaces we design for you make you feel at home. Combining refined elegance with warmth, we strive to curate a space that encompasses the house you've always dreamed of. May the objects you purchase from us be a reminder of how beautiful and wild our world is. Something that started out as earth has gone through an extensive transformation to reach your hands. Infused with love and positive energy, we hope it brings joy to your space and everyday rituals.
Empowerment
We are a latinx, woman owned company and believe in the power of design and art to bring people together and nurture connections. As we move forward and continue to grow, we aim to find ways to lift up the voices of fellow artists, especially those whose voices tend to go unheard.
