Rezharco Doria

I’ve been an interior architect for over fifteen years and have enjoyed every element of the creative process.

I’ve found that the true art of design is experiential. Creating spaces, environments and buildings should be about the individual, the user and the human element.

I specialise in Hospitality & Retail design due to my love for the industries. I have worked for numerous hotel chains and I use this ‘first hand’ experience to inform my design process.

I believe in working with my client and my team to create special, uniquely stimulating designed environments. I am not a showboater, a hero designer, a know it all. I am a believer in making our environment better, plain and simple.

I’ve wanted to be a creative, a designer all my life. I remember memories as a child space planning in my head, long before I knew ‘space planning’ was part of a profession called Interior Design. It is and has been a part of me for many years and the best part…bringing the vision to life.

Passionate, precise and dedicated. I believe in delivering outstanding design solutions no matter what the project, size, shape or value.

I’m a specialist in both commercial and hospitality projects, having worked over both disciplines for over 15 years, developing a sound knowledge for what does and doesn’t work. Tried and tested, sometimes the hard way.

For me great design is about immersion and understanding.

One of my earliest memories is the smell of saw dust in my Poppa’s work shed. He was a carpenter by trade and as a child I would spend time with him making bird’s houses. This instilled a lifelong interest in creating and set me on the path to study interior architecture and industrial design.

As a designer at Y—6, my goal is to create thoughtful and elegant spaces. Sustainability is always in the forefront of my mind and influences all of my design decisions. There is a wealth of knowledge at Y—6 and I relish the learning opportunity that working here provides.

For me, a well designed space should transcend the user to create a memory and evoke emotion. In conjunction with a personal experience all elements of design should permeate into an individual's story, painting the backdrop in their mind when they look back in the future.

As an experienced Canadian designer I have been fortunate to create picturesque interiors throughout North America and now in New Zealand with Y-6. Specializing in hospitality design it is my passion to create stories through meticulously detailed, creatively curated and inspiring spaces that bring the user joy.

Inspired by my awkward neon youth spread across two continents. I grew up with a healthy diet of science fiction films, R.L Stine and alternative punk rock music, that continues to permeate my life.

An endless curiosity for all things theatrical and sensational is guided today by my years of formal study into the world of art and spatial design. It is my belief that the spaces we inhabit should be an unconscious extension of ourselves, and therefore the act of designing space is no different to the act of storytelling.

Made to create, I have expressed myself through design for as long as I can remember. I found myself enamoured with Interior Architecture because of the opportunities to elevate everyday moments through to curate once in a lifetime experiences. Everyday I’m inspired by this fundamental belief that our role is about transforming space into an experience.

My mission as a young designer is to craft spaces with a harmony between beauty, function and an element of surprise. Artistic practices have played a fundamental role in my formal education and personal life. I seek to innovate through drawing upon my ever-growing passions in modern art, sculpture and digital technology.

For me, design is not only a career tool or pathway, but a way of understanding the world and myself as an individual traversing life. I have always been drawn to the academic side of spatial design, the side that delves into its roots in human culture and sociological structures. I understand spaces and objects to be innately human. They are expressive, emotional, temporal - they are the things we piece together as designers to emanate a feeling and an experience for ourselves and others. 

This understanding of design often times helps me traverse my own life. As a designer at Y-6, I enjoy the opportunity to engage with particular spaces and objects to create an innately human feeling for the end users.
