About us
LE studio means "The" Studio in French, and we purposefully added this little note of "je-ne-sais-quoi" to our name, the same way we will infuse the design of your home with what makes it special to and uniquely YOU.
Our studio is dedicated to creating experiences and memories in your space while preserving harmony and a sense of purposeful living. We have a passion for creating high-end spaces that feel comfortable and reflect who you are, through a personalized and consultative approach, and carefully guide you through the many choices and decisions to avoid costly mistakes. We address your functional needs, but we also want it to speak to your personality and aesthetic vision and what is rooted in your story. believe a well-designed space helps people live their best lives and we are inspired by homes that are unique and memorable in the way they make you feel.
We also are mindful and thoughtfully advise on "trends" of the moment. Too often, designing an interior becomes an import of meaningless and pre-set design ideas and we think that there certainly a better way to create your space. We will rather gather the existing decor that is part of the story and will integrate them into your new design, while seamlessly integrating innovative material and shapes into the building process.
Ultimately, we want your house to reflect your personality and your lifestyle and bring a deep feeling of contentment in your everyday life.

Let's talk?
What to expect during a consultation
We'd love to hear about your project!
A consultation will often start with an in-person meeting in your home or commercial space, for up to 90 min and at no cost. We will evaluate the scope of the project, discuss creative directions, budget, and timeline. Mostly, we get to know each other and we will listen to what you need and what's important to you. We will do a thorough walk-through, take some notes, answer questions, walk your through the design process, how we work and what to expect.
