Mara Ellison
Spatial design & client direction
Mara’s role connects the aquarium to the room: proportion, materials, viewing positions and the conversations that turn an idea into a clear brief.
About the atelier
Designed for your room.
Planned for lasting care.
Stillwater Atelier is a fictional design studio exploring aquariums as part of the places we live. Architecture, aquatic landscapes and long-term care are considered together.
The atelier approach
Less equipment
in view. More thought
behind the scenes.
A beautiful aquarium is not an isolated object. It affects circulation, sightlines, lighting and the way a room feels. Its cabinet must work as furniture, and its equipment must remain accessible.
We have built this concept around a simple sequence: understand the room, choose the living system, resolve the practical details and plan for care. The visual ideas are ambitious. The explanation should remain clear.
The imagined team
Two perspectives.
One complete project.
These fictional people represent the complementary skills an aquarium project brings together.
