Tiakaya – the name
Tiakaya is a combination of words with meaningful symbolism.
While working abroad a dream developed… of a beautiful ecological business environment of unique creations…. A space combining diverse ranges of design & creativity, whilst providing an inspirational, experiential atmosphere. A space of relaxed productivity. A collaborative space for designers and artists of different interests and media, communal ideals with a positive social interaction.
Kaya became the name to this dream, and South Africa the Dreamland.
“Kaya” – “Zulu for ‘home’ and the ancient Zulu mantra which says, “You carry your home in your heart”.

Tia
The name Tia, Taryn’s creative alias, is the sacred name from Haida mythology of the goddess which represents the dualism of life. This dualism is a design dialogue often explored in Tiakaya’s scope of work.

Tiakaya expresses the artist within all the work we do, and our passion for this land. Tiakaya strives to bring the outside to the inside, the nature to the city, the garden exteriors to the interiors.
