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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Atelier Roux specializes in comprehensive residential renovations, ground-up new builds, and full-home furnishing projects. Our work often includes architectural planning, custom millwork, kitchens and bathrooms, lighting, materials, furnishings, art, procurement, and installation. Because we approach the home as a cohesive whole, we generally do not take on e-design or isolated single-room projects.
Ideally, Atelier Roux is engaged at the beginning of the architectural planning process—before layouts, lighting plans, millwork, and major material decisions have been finalized. Early involvement allows the architecture, interior details, furnishings, and practical requirements of the home to be developed together. We can collaborate with an architect and builder already in place or help clients assemble the appropriate project team.
Our full-service work can include space planning, interior architectural drawings, kitchens and bathrooms, custom millwork, material and finish selections, lighting, furnishings, art, procurement, construction coordination, and final installation. The precise scope is developed around the property and each client's needs, but every element is considered part of a cohesive design.
We source from an extensive network of exclusive suppliers, artisans, and showrooms. We meticulously select pieces that exemplify quality, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. Our team's expertise ensures that every item chosen for your project aligns with your refined aesthetic and meets the highest standards of luxury.
Atelier Roux is based between New York and Paris and works on residential projects throughout the United States and Europe. We regularly work in New York City and the surrounding Tri-State area and consider projects in other locations based on their scope and requirements.
Timelines depend on the project’s scale, construction requirements, approval process, and decision-making schedule. As a general guide, ground-up new builds typically take two to three years from architectural planning through final installation. Comprehensive renovations generally take 12 to 24 months, while full-home furnishing projects without major construction typically take 6 to 12 months. We establish a more detailed schedule once the scope and project team are understood.
Our process is designed to give clients clear opportunities to provide input without overwhelming them with every decision. Your involvement is most important during the initial briefing, scheduled design presentations, and feedback and approval milestones. We establish key meeting dates in advance and ask that feedback be provided promptly so the project can remain on schedule and within the agreed budget.
Design fees are based on the size, scope, complexity, and expected duration of the project. Furnishings, materials, and custom pieces are purchased through Atelier Roux as part of our full-service procurement process, which includes ordering, tracking, vendor coordination, delivery oversight, and installation. Following an initial consultation, we prepare a proposal outlining the recommended scope, design fees, and purchasing requirements for the project.
Atelier Roux’s full-service design fees begin at $30,000. We require a minimum purchasing investment of $150,000 for projects in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut and $250,000 for projects outside the Tri-State area. These purchasing minimums apply to furnishings, materials, and custom pieces procured through Atelier Roux and do not include design fees. After an initial consultation, we prepare a tailored proposal based on the project’s size, scope, complexity, and anticipated duration.
