Stuudio Truus

What Stuudio Truus does

Stuudio Truus OÜ is a privately held Estonian interior architecture studio (sisearhitektuuribüroo) founded in 2006 and headquartered at Tina 7-8 in Tallinn. The firm is led by founder and principal interior architect Tiiu Truus (holding the senior VIII classification) and operates with a small core team of three to five professionals, including architect Maili Tannenberg and interior architect Annika Liivo (currently on parental leave). It provides professional interior design services across three segments: private residential homes and apartments; commercial and institutional spaces such as offices, restaurants, dental clinics, and accommodation facilities; and public-sector projects including schools, libraries, government residences, and memorials.

The studio's underlying technology is traditional interior architecture and spatial design, delivered through direct project commissions and participation in architectural competitions. It collaborates with external Estonian architecture firms — most notably Arhitektuuribüroo JVR and Ninja Stuudio — on complex public and heritage projects, providing the interior architecture component while partner firms handle broader architectural scope. Notable delivered work includes the Kommunismiohvrite memoriaal at Maarjamäe (2018), the Narva Castle Convent House reconstruction (2020), and two Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs diplomatic residences in Brussels.

The business model is project-based professional services, with fees quoted per project scope and no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: public-sector projects are acquired primarily through open architectural competitions, while private and commercial work comes via direct commissions and referrals. The firm is founder-controlled, has no disclosed external investment, no subsidiaries, and serves clients across Estonia with occasional international government work.
