Our Story

Crafting Spaces That Tell Your Story

“Design is not just about aesthetics — it is about creating environments that elevate the human experience.”

Founded in 2011, Atelier Studio began with a simple belief: that exceptional design has the power to transform not just spaces, but the lives of the people who inhabit them. What started as a small residential practice in Miami's Design District has grown into an award-winning firm serving clients across the Southeast.

Our approach blends timeless design principles with contemporary sensibilities. We believe in the power of natural materials, considered proportions, and the subtle interplay of light and texture. Every project we undertake is a collaborative journey with our clients, resulting in spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful.

Today, our team of twelve designers, architects, and project managers brings diverse perspectives and specialized expertise to every engagement. From intimate residential renovations to large-scale hospitality projects, we approach each with the same dedication to craft and attention to detail.

About Atelier Studio

Our Design Philosophy

These core principles guide every decision we make, from the first sketch to the final reveal.

Timeless Over Trendy

We design spaces that endure. While we appreciate contemporary movements, we prioritize materials, forms, and palettes that will feel as relevant in twenty years as they do today.

Function Meets Beauty

Every design element must serve a purpose. We never sacrifice usability for aesthetics, believing the most beautiful spaces are those that work effortlessly for the people who use them.

Sustainable Practice

We prioritize eco-conscious materials, local artisans, and responsible sourcing. Good design should be good for the planet, and we integrate sustainability into every project we take on.
