About the studio
A small practice, deliberately.
We stay small on purpose — every project gets the same two people from first sketch to final walkthrough, not handed off along the way.
Solene Studio started in 2014 with a simple frustration: too many design projects optimized for how a space photographs, not how someone actually lives in it.
A decade later, that's still the whole premise. We design homes, offices, and small hospitality spaces around daily use first — storage that gets used, light that changes through the day, materials that age well instead of just looking new on delivery day.
We work with a small number of clients at a time, by design. It's the only way we've found to keep every detail considered rather than delegated.
How we work
Every project moves through the same three stages, in this order — it's the sequence that keeps decisions from being made twice.
Discover
Site visits, conversations about how you actually use the space, and an honest look at budget and timeline before any design work starts.
Design
Concept, space planning, and material selection developed together — presented in stages, not as one big reveal at the end.
Deliver
Construction drawings, contractor coordination, and on-site visits through to final walkthrough and handover.
The team
Two principals, and a small network of trusted contractors and craftspeople.
Solene Marchetti
Leads spatial planning and structural design, with a background in renovation of older buildings.
Theo Adeyemi
Leads material selection and furnishing — the person who keeps every palette to a considered few.
Rosa Klein
Keeps every project on schedule and every contractor conversation moving forward.
