The Studio
01 — 04
Founded on precision,not trend.
SPL takes its name from its three founders:
Susan·Princess·Leena
The studio designs and builds interiors the way it draws them: to the millimetre, from Windhoek, for the whole of Namibia.

Princess Diana Shipepe
Co-Founder · Clients & Brand
Keeps clients and brand held to the same considered standard.
Leena Kasheeta
Co-Founder · Technical
Holds every joinery drawing to workshop standard before it’s cut.
“Every project moves through the same three pairs of hands, which is how the detail holds up.”

Start a Project →Our Process
Five stages,one drawing set.
The same method runs through every project, whether it’s a single kitchen or a full hospitality fit-out.
Stage 01 — On Site
Brief & Site Visit
We walk the space, measure what exists, and listen to how the room is actually used — before any design work starts.
Stage 02 — Direction
Concept & Sketch
Layout and material direction, sketched and agreed with you — before any detailed drawing begins.
Stage 03 — The Drawing Set
Measured Drawings
Every cabinet run, drawer and shelf dimensioned to the millimetre. This is what protects the build from surprises.
Stage 04 — Sign-Off
Render & Materials
You see the finished room on screen — finishes, lighting and fittings agreed before manufacturing starts.
Stage 05 — Delivery
Build & Install
Joinery manufactured off-site, installed on schedule, and walked through against the original drawing set.
Stage 06 — Yours
Your space.
Every project on this page began exactly here — an empty plan, a site visit and a tape measure. The sixth stage isn’t ours to draw.

Why SPL
Partner with us on your next space.
From a single kitchen to a full fit-out, every project starts with a site visit and ends with drawings we hold ourselves to on site.
01
Founder-led, start to finish
You deal directly with the people who design and draw your space — not an account manager.
02
Drawn before it’s built
Millimetre-accurate joinery drawings are signed off before a single panel is cut.
03
One team, no hand-offs
Design and build under one roof, so nothing is lost between concept and workshop.
04
Windhoek-based, Namibia-wide
Residential and hospitality projects, from the capital to the coast and the north.
Questions
Asked before you ask.
What does SPL Creative Living do?
We design and build interiors — full homes, single rooms, salons, lounges and commercial spaces — and manufacture the custom joinery that goes into them: kitchens, wardrobes, walk-in closets, TV walls and built-in cabinetry. Every piece is drawn to the millimetre before it is made.
How much does interior design cost in Namibia?
It depends on the scope. We work across budgets — from under N$100,000 for a single room or a joinery-only project, to N$750,000 and beyond for full homes and hospitality fit-outs. Every project starts with a brief and site visit, after which you get a considered scope and cost, not a guess.
Do you work outside Windhoek?
Yes. The studio is based in Windhoek and works across Namibia — recent projects run from the capital to Oshakati in the north and Swakopmund on the coast.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
A founder reads your brief, we set up a short call to align on scope and budget, and then Stage 01 begins: the brief and site visit, where we measure what exists and listen to how the space is used.
Can I commission custom joinery without full interior design?
Absolutely. A kitchen, a walk-in closet, a TV wall — joinery-only projects get the same treatment: dimensioned drawings first, then manufacture and installation.
Will I see the design before anything is built?
Always. You sign off on concept sketches, millimetre-accurate drawings and a photoreal render of the finished room before a single panel is cut. What you approve on screen is what we hold ourselves to on site.
