The Construction Source

FOHR Design Studio Inc. is a multi-disciplinary design firm based in Toronto. Their team of skilled designers – led by principals and co-owners Rania Ismail Cherry and Heather Lewis – offer the full scope interior design services, and they work closely and collaboratively with clients spanning multiple sectors of design. No matter the typology or scope of the project, their firm’s goal is always the same: to deliver well-considered, enduring interiors that are both “highly functional and deeply personal,” while ensuring a smooth and well-managed design process from start to finish. “Our studio is structured to handle a wide range of residential projects, from full-scale renovations and new builds to multi-phase interior transformations,” explains Rania Ismail Cherry. “We are particularly well-suited to complex, layered projects that require thoughtful planning, detailed documentation, and close collaboration with the broader project team. While scope and scale vary, we typically take on projects that benefit from a comprehensive design approach rather than one-off styling or isolated rooms.” “Operationally, we work as a tight-knit studio with a hands-on leadership model,” Heather adds. “As principals, we remain closely involved in every project, supported by a small team that allows for flexibility, efficiency, and consistency across all deliverables. This structure enables us to scale thoughtfully – taking on larger, more complex projects without sacrificing the level of detail, responsiveness, or personal attention our clients value.” Rania and Heather first met as classmates in the Interior Design program at Toronto Metropolitan University, where a natural creative partnership quickly formed. After graduating, both went on to work at boutique interior design firms across MARCH 2026 Photo: Stephani Buchman
