About us
At Studio (SUM)Thing, we believe design is more than what meets the eye—it's a catalyst for connection, a tool for transformation, and a foundation for legacy. Founded by designer Manori SUManasinghe, our studio is rooted in the idea that thoughtful design can uplift individuals, reflect shared values, and enrich entire communities.
We specialize in designing spaces that bring together delight, intention, and real-world impact. Whether it’s a high-end home, a wellness retreat, a neighborhood business, or a public activation, our work is shaped by a deep understanding of place, people, and purpose.
With each project, we bring empathy, curiosity, and clarity to the table—guiding clients through a collaborative process that honors both personal vision and collective good. From the smallest detail to the big-picture vision, we’re here to help you unlock the potential of your space and create something truly timeless.
Let’s build spaces that spark delight, foster connection, and reflect what matters most!
