Design-led studio
Precise thinking, for homes and the spaces between.
We design considered, high-craft spaces, and build them ourselves. No handoffs, no gaps.
One studio, end to end
Penrose is a design-led studio. We bring the same intentional, precise design thinking to a private home or a considered commercial space, and we stay with it from the first brief to the final detail.
Design
Architecture and interior design, resolved down to the detail.
Build
Construction and craft, held to the standard of the drawings.
Manage
Budget, schedule, and site, coordinated start to finish.
The edge
We are licensed and insured general contractors. Design and build stay under one roof, so nothing gets lost between the drawing and the site.
Because design and build stay in house, the process never fractures. The same team that draws it is the team on site, and the team standing in the finished room. Open each stage to see what you receive.

The studio
Every project gets the same attention: careful drawings, considered materials, and a finish that holds up under a close look. We work with a small team and a short client list, because that is what the standard requires.
Our work spans high-end projects in New York, Los Angeles, London and Monaco. We keep the list short so each one gets the attention it deserves.
