Two women sit on wooden stools in a minimalist beige room. Both wear patterned skirts and black boots; one wears a gray blazer and polka dots, the other a black top with a zebra-print skirt. They face the camera, relaxed and confident.
Seeking the magic with Kat & Kae

We design spaces that spark emotion, foster connection, and honor material storytelling.
From concept to curation—
architecture becomes art.

  • Three modern houses in natural settings: a two-story dark house with large windows, two A-frame wooden cabins surrounded by greenery, and a black wood cabin with a front porch and outdoor dining area.
  • Three modern restaurant interiors: the first features colorful abstract wall art and pink seating; the second has a bar with blue tiles, wooden floors, and hanging lights; the third shows a vibrant lounge with striped rugs and pink, teal, and green walls.
  • A collage of three interiors: a modern living room with gray furniture and a rug, a cozy bedroom with wooden shelves and large window overlooking trees, and a bright bathroom with a freestanding tub and wood vanity.

| ABOUT

From high-end residences to concept restaurants and
immersive installations, K-Works Studio creates powerful,
refined, and unforgettable environments.

We design spaces that move people

Founded by Katharina Hoerath and Katie Donahue,
our woman-led studio blends timeless elegance with
experimental craft.
You may have seen our work featured in Sex and the City,
or stumbled upon it in the Hamptons, Beirut, or at Pride.

A modern house with dark wood exterior walls and large glass windows is surrounded by lush green trees and grass, with a stone walkway leading to the entrance under a clear sky.

We don’t design spaces for everyone. We design for the curious, the bold, the ones who want something soulful.
