Where standard options fall short, we commission bespoke work. Partnering with a trusted network of skilled artisans and makers on both sides of the Atlantic, we design and produce pieces built specifically for your space – furniture drawn to specification and textiles chosen for durability as much as beauty.
Custom Furnishings
As an interior architecture practice, we are involved before the walls go up. We lead or collaborate on the structural decisions that determine how a space flows and functions – working alongside your architect or acting as the architectural lead ourselves. The interior and structural work are always considered together.
INTERIOR Architecture
Atelier Roux offers full-service interior design for clients undertaking significant residential projects. We create spaces that are considered, layered and personal, shaped by how you live rather than by new trends. Every project is managed from initial concept through to final installation, with the same attention applied to every decision along the way.
Interior design
Atelier Roux is an interior architecture and design practice. We come in early, stay involved throughout and take responsibility for the full scope – from structural drawings to the final installation, across new construction, renovation and full furnishing.
Every project begins with the space itself. We review the architecture – whether that means collaborating with your architect or leading that process ourselves – assessing flow, function and potential before anything is selected or decided. Floor plans, ceiling plans, furniture layouts: everything is considered at the outset. This foundational thinking shapes every decision that follows.
With the architecture understood, the real work begins. We sit down with you to understand how you live, what you love, and what you've always wanted your home to be. From that conversation comes the first sketch of something real: preliminary floor plans, early concepts, the beginnings of bringing your ideas to life.
As the plans take form, we develop detailed technical drawings and begin sourcing. Interior finish selections are presented through physical samples and visual presentation, so you can understand not just how the space will look but how it will feel.
Every piece is chosen with the same criteria: function first, quality always, nothing that won't stand the test of time. Where standard options fall short, we commission bespoke, working with skilled artisans to source and produce pieces built specifically for your space. Each element considered in relation to everything else until the space is entirely your own.
With the design approved, we manage every element of procurement – fabrics, materials, furnishings – coordinating with trusted contractors and vendors to ensure quality at every stage. We track each item, oversee construction drawings and conduct regular site visits to keep the project on course and the standard where it should be.
The final phase is carried out with the same precision as everything that preceded it. Fittings, art and objects are placed according to detailed floor plans, with careful attention to lighting and layout. We make adjustments until everything is right. A final walkthrough ensures everything is exactly where it should be. This is the moment the project becomes a home.
Atelier Roux works with clients across the full arc of a project, from the first architectural review to the day you move in. Every phase is managed with the same rigor and attention with nothing left to chance.

Yes. We are based in New York and Paris, but we work on projects worldwide depending on your needs and project scope.
It's crucial to define your preferred style before assembling your team. Ideally, the interior designer, architect, and builder should collaborate from the start to maintain design integrity. An experienced designer oversees every detail, streamlining selection decisions and establishing a cohesive material palette and furniture/lighting plans that guide construction. These elements are interconnected, so hiring the trio together is essential.
We aim to create a home that reflects your personality and preferences. The number of revision rounds depends on the project type and the work scope.
Most designers, like Atelier Roux, have two primary sources of income: design fees and product sales. Designers derive a substantial part of their income from fees associated with their design services, covering aspects like conceptualization, planning, project management, and execution.
Clients pay for their expertise, creativity, and guidance during the project. Additionally, designers can access diverse suppliers and manufacturers to select and source products that match the design vision, sometimes adding a markup or commission, which enhances their overall earnings.
Start by thinking about how many items it takes to get a room pulled completely together. Now imagine someone else doing it for you! This is an investment. While we obviously must account for our time and business practices, we save you money in the long run by avoiding poor buying choices, overspending on the wrong pieces, and making too many misguided mistakes. The cohesive process, including our design time, should always save you money in the long run!
