ARCHITECTURAL & INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO IN LONDON
A London-based studio specialising in residential refurbishments and bespoke interiors since 2015.
Atelier EURA is a London-based architectural and interior design studio specialising in residential refurbishments, extensions and bespoke interiors. Since 2015 we have worked with homeowners, private clients and independent businesses across London on projects that require care, clarity and long-term thinking.
Our work is shaped by a close collaboration with clients and fellow professionals and a deep understanding of each client’s needs and the potential of every space. From early feasibility and concept design through planning, compliance and delivery, we create considered, functional and refined environments tailored to how people live and work.

INTRODUCTION
Atelier Eura was founded to support clients who value thoughtful decision-making and well-resolved spaces.
Many of the clients we work with come to us with a clear sense that something needs to change, but without an obvious way forward. Our role is to help clarify that path and guide the process with care. We take time to understand how a space is lived in or operated, and we translate that understanding into practical, considered design decisions spanning from early feasibility through to construction.
We work on private homes, listed buildings and commercial interiors. Each project is approached individually, with attention to context, constraints and the people involved. Architecture and interiors are considered together because this ensures coherence and reduces the need for late adjustments.


Residential projects often begin with small but persistent frustrations and long‑stablished routines. We work closely with clients to reorganise spaces, resolving layout, circulation, and daily use in ways that support life as it is now while allowing room for change over time.

Commercial projects begin with understanding how a business functions day to day. We design around workflow, customer movement, and operational needs, ensuring clarity, continuity, and spaces that support both people and performance.

OUR PROCESS
Each project begins with a conversation aimed at understanding what is needed and what is currently not working. Following this, we prepare a scope proposal tailored to the project, allowing decisions to be made with clarity from the outset.
Once a way forward is agreed, we typically follow the stages below.
1
FEASIBILITY
This stage allows us to assess options and constraints early. We review what is achievable and outline possible directions so that informed decisions can be made before design work progresses.
2
DESIGN
Using the feasibility as a foundation, we develop the concept design in dialogue with you. Consultants are brought in where appropriate, and the design is continuously tested against the agreed objectives.
3
ILLUSTRATIONS
We use drawings, images and material references selectively, focusing on tools that genuinely support understanding and decision-making rather than overwhelm it.
4
PLANNING APPLICATIONS
Where required, we manage planning and listed building applications, including discussions with local authorities, submissions, conditions and variations.
5
COMPLIANCE
We prepare the technical documentation needed to satisfy building regulations and, where applicable, freeholder or licensing requirements.
6
CONSTRUCTION
We assist with contractor selection and tendering, finalise manufacturing information and remain involved during construction to respond to issues as they arise and support steady progress on site.

REFURBISHMENT GUIDE
The early stages of a refurbishment can feel complex and difficult to navigate.
Our Refurbishment Guide brings together the questions we are most often asked at the beginning of a project. It outlines how the process typically unfolds and what to consider before design work begins.
The guide is intended to help you approach your project with greater confidence and a clearer sense of what lies ahead.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"They provided a thorough scope of works detailing not only their own role but those of other consultants. So totally above board no hidden gremlins coming out of the woodwork, this aspect in particular was so reassuring."
