Our Story

At Bella Domus, we believe exceptional design is rooted in authenticity, timeless beauty, and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Founded by Isabella Moreira Longobardi, who brings ten years of experience in architecture and high-end interior design, Bella Domus was created to craft luxury kitchens, custom cabinetry, and curated interiors that feel elevated and deeply personal.

With a degree in Architecture and Interior Design, and a background influenced by the timeless principles of modern Brazilian architecture, Isabella's approach blends clean lines, natural materials, warmth, and sophistication. Her design philosophy combines technical expertise with an artistic eye, creating spaces that feel refined, functional, and inviting.

Materials are carefully selected to bring warmth, depth, and authenticity to each space. Guided by an artistic perspective, every design balances refined modern lines with organic elements and natural textures, creating interiors that feel effortless, elevated, and truly lived in.

Bella Domus was founded on the belief that meaningful interiors are shaped through intention, not excess.

Hi, I'm Danya Uptegrove.

I've been a designer specializing in kitchens, baths, and custom cabinetry for over two decades, first in Colorado, now along the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach areas. My projects have ranged from reimagining a single mudroom to curating an entire newly built home, and every one gets the same care.

My work starts with listening. You already know how you want your home to feel and how you need it to work. My job is to design precisely that, and then to bring you the ideas you wouldn't have known to ask for.

That design goes deeper than the finishes. The real work of a room happens beneath the surfaces: the layout, the storage, the proportions, the small clearances and conveniences that decide whether a space merely photographs well or actually works well. I design both: rooms as intelligent as they are beautiful.
