About Bella Domus
Bella Domus, Italian for beautiful home, reflects a connection to Italian heritage and an appreciation for the enduring relationship between architecture, materials, and the way we live.
Founded by Isabella Longobardi, Bella Domus Design brings an architectural perspective and a background in interior design shaped by her education in Brazil. Working across South Florida, the studio creates considered residential interiors and bespoke cabinetry, from complete home transformations to individual spaces.
The process begins with the architecture of each space. Proportion, natural light, and circulation establish the foundation, while materials are selected for their character, texture, and ability to age beautifully. Natural wood, expressive stone, and thoughtfully finished metals bring depth and authenticity to each interior.
Interior design and cabinetry are developed as one cohesive vision. From the proportions of a custom hood to the alignment of a niche with its surrounding tile, every element is considered in relation to the whole. Hardware, finishes, and architectural details are resolved together, leaving nothing to chance.
The result is a refined approach to design, guided by thoughtful decisions, enduring materials, and a respect for the character of each home.
Spaces that evolve beautifully over time

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.
