01About me

A studio is not a room. It is a state of mind you build with walls.

I am Carolina Domme, founder of Cream Studio's. I design the spaces where people come to breathe, move and put themselves back together.

Born in Hamburg, trained in Copenhagen and Milan, I spent my early years in large practices drawing towers and offices. Then I built a single small pilates studio for a friend, and watched what good light and an honest floor could do to a person halfway through a session. I never went back.

For fifteen years my work has lived at the intersection of architecture and the body. I do not chase trends or feature walls. I choreograph daylight, choose materials you want to touch with bare feet, and engineer a quiet most buildings forget to design for. The result is space that disappears, so movement can take over.

Today I work with founders, retreat owners and wellness brands from London to Bali, usually with my hands in the plaster.

02The approach
i.

Light first

Before a single wall, I map how the sun moves through the day. Studios are scored for morning energy and evening calm, with daylight that flatters skin and softens effort.

ii.

Honest material

Lime plaster, raw oak, linen, stone, cork. Surfaces that age beautifully, feel warm underfoot and quietly tell your members this place was made with care.

iii.

Designed silence

Acoustics, flow and sightlines planned so the noise of the street, the changing room and the next class never reaches the mat. Stillness is an engineering decision.

03Selected work

Forty studios.
Eleven countries.

A small selection of pilates, yoga and wellness spaces designed and delivered around the world.

Stillpoint Pilates, London
2024
London, United Kingdom

Stillpoint Pilates

A reformer studio carved into a converted Victorian dairy in Notting Hill. Limewashed walls, a sawtooth skylight grid and a sunken practice floor that drops you below street noise.

Lumen Yoga House, Miami
2023
Miami, United States

Lumen Yoga House

A rooftop yoga pavilion in Wynwood wrapped in brass mesh and travertine. Breeze corridors replace air conditioning, and the ceiling opens to the sky at golden hour.

Tanah Retreat, Bali
2022
Ubud, Bali

Tanah Retreat

An open air movement hall built from local bamboo, floating above the rice terraces. No glass, no walls. Just a roof, the wind and a polished clay floor.

Aria Pilates, Lisbon
2023
Lisbon, Portugal

Aria Pilates

A boutique reformer studio in Principe Real finished in soft rose lime plaster, with a row of arched openings that pull the afternoon light deep into the room.

Salt Yoga, Tulum
2025
Tulum, Mexico

Salt Yoga

A cenote inspired studio set half below ground, cooled by the earth itself. Mineral walls, a single shaft of daylight and water you can hear but never see.

Breathe Collective, Copenhagen
2021
Copenhagen, Denmark

Breathe Collective

Pilates, sauna and recovery under one pale oak roof in Nordhavn, designed around the low Nordic winter light so the space feels generous even in December.

In their words
Carolina did not design us a studio. She designed the way our members feel the second the door closes behind them.
