THE STUDIO


SML Studio is a bespoke interior design practice based in Adelaide.

Founded as a space for dialogue, reflection, and thoughtful design, the studio works through conversation and collaboration to understand the needs, aspirations, and intentions of each client, allowing every project to develop a clear and enduring design direction.

Our approach is guided by a deep consideration of materiality, craftsmanship, and longevity. We believe that carefully designed spaces should respond responsibly to the environmental challenges of our time. Sustainability is therefore an integral part of our design process, informing the selection of materials, products, and design solutions.

JASNA BAJLO CARR

SML Studio Founder

Space, form, and material have been part of Jasna's vocabulary since childhood. Growing up with a mother who worked in an architectural office, she developed an early sensitivity to the built environment that would shape her aesthetic and her approach to design long before her formal training began.

She studied Architectural Engineering at the University of Ljubljana and later completed a Master's degree at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia in Barcelona. While this education provided a strong foundation in design thinking and technical rigour, it was living and working across Australia, Croatia, and Spain that profoundly shaped her perspective.

Experiencing different cultures and ways of living deepened her understanding of how people interact with their environments. Each place taught her something unique about the relationship between space, interiors, and daily life. These experiences continue to influence her approach, allowing her to create spaces that are thoughtful, personal, and deeply connected to the people who inhabit them.

Today, Jasna draws on this combination of international experience, design knowledge, and a passion for craftsmanship to create interiors that balance beauty, functionality, and longevity.
