NOM is an architecture and interior design studio focused on creating spaces that feel personal, intentional, and deeply connected to the way people live.
The studio approaches each project as an ongoing exploration of space, balancing form, materiality, and atmosphere to create environments that feel calm, warm, and timeless.

Rooted in a collaborative and intuitive process, NOM works closely with clients to shape spaces that respond to their needs, rhythms, and surroundings. Rather than following trends, the studio focuses on honest materials, clean lines, and thoughtful details that allow each project to feel grounded and authentic.

NOM is led by architect and designer Nia Jorquera, originally from Chile and currently based in Siargao Island, Philippines. With a background in both residential and commercial architecture, her work naturally bridges architecture and interiors, with a strong emphasis on how spaces are experienced and inhabited.

Her practice has evolved through projects in Chile, the Philippines, Bali, and Mexico, shaping a design language informed by place, material, and intuition. Today, Nia works remotely with clients across different regions, designing homes and interiors that are both functional and emotionally resonant.

The name NOM comes from the phrase “Not M, it’s N,” a response to being often called Mia instead of Nia. It represents a personal design perspective shaped by a unique way of seeing and creating.
