OUR VISION
Studio Arc is an international collaborative design practice focused on private commissions with ambitious interior design briefs.
Our team is global in reach and spirt. Cultural and contextual depth anchor our projects, as does the inspiration from our clients.
We believe that good relationships get the best results. From our studios in London and Montreux, Switzerland, we create interiors with discipline and imagination, giving each project its own distinct identity. We work to earn the trust and respect of colleagues and clients, with talented associates across a range of disciplines. We are committed to promoting a culture of artistry, collaboration, and innovation.
Projects are puzzles - a myriad of requirements that must strike the right balance of space and adjacencies, optimised to meet the clients objectives. It is a mix of craft, science, storytelling and philosophy. Drawing from a plethora passions — history, art, travel, film and literature inspire our work.
We have enjoyed recognition for luxury and boutique hotel commissions, including international brands: Belmond, Fairmont, Mandarin Oriental and Waldorf Astoria. We have applied our talents to bespoke living projects from Antares in Barcelona, to iconic estates in the UK and Europe. We are versatile, from award-winning super yachts interiors to restaurant design.
Our genuine curiosity informs our design proposals which is tailored to each individual commission.
Our Services
-
Interior architecture and design are the essence of our practice. We begin by preparing strong layered narratives to explore a myriad of design opportunities while remaining faithful to the client’s brief and aspirations. We work closely with our clients using sketched layouts, preliminary drawings, concept imagery and materiality. The design language and palette are further refined to include detailed plans, elevations and renderings. Once the design has crystallised, the scheme is fully developed with detailed drawings packages and full sets of specifications.
-
Our work accounts for the important role of furniture and fixtures to support the design intent and adds to the notion of Gesamtkunstwerk, where both the interior architecture and interior design are layered to create a cohesive design, that is a work of art. We work closely with trusted galleries and manufacturers from around the globe to both source and imagine under our creative direction unique pieces for our projects in order to create a synthesis of the arts so that the spaces that we design are meaningful and memorable.
-
An art collection tells a story, it compliments and adds layers to interiors. Works of art can be drawn from a client’s private collection, commissioned especially for the project or purchased from a gallery. We source work from local artists, art consultants and auction houses to develop a cohesive identity; an immersive and memorable experience for owners and guests.
