AS FEATURED IN
A Hamptons Home in Full Color
Modern Luxury Hamptons · July 2026
Our Southampton Family Retreat is the July feature — a full-home renovation that trades the expected coastal white for warm oak, layered wallpapers, and a saturated earth-tone palette. Written by Haven Hathaway. Photography by Chris Coe.
THE STUDIO
Full-service interior design for homeowners who value wellness, beauty, and balance
Studio Kestrel is a luxury residential interior design practice led by Paul de Andrade. We work with homeowners, architects, and builders to deliver full-service design — concept through installation — across three markets we know intimately.
Our work draws on organic modern principles, natural materials, and feng shui — designing residential interiors that feel grounded, holistic, and built for how you actually live. Never staged, never over-designed.
MEET THE DESIGNER
Studio Kestrel is led by Paul De Andrade
Paul de Andrade founded Studio Kestrel in 2019 as a practice that breaks away from traditional interior design. Trained as a biomedical engineer at Georgia Tech and awarded a nanotechnology fellowship at Harvard, he traded the lab for several years of travel — a 10,000-mile bicycle trip from Atlanta to Buenos Aires, motorcycling across India, Southeast Asia, and New Zealand, and time spent living throughout South America and Europe. Between travels, he completed a master's in journalism at Columbia.
Studio Kestrel is where those experiences converge — the rigor and precision of engineering, an immersion in architecture, design, and cultures across the world, and a journalistic tendency to question everything: how it works, why it's done that way, and how it could be better.

What our clients say
"The work Paul has done for us is beyond stunning — everyone who walks in the door is just blown away. Each space is so comfortable and functional that we spend time in almost every room throughout the day. It has been a fantastic experience."

"Paul brings a client's vision to life - even when the client isn't totally sure what their style is yet. He makes the design process fun, exciting and so seamless, which is rare in a world of logistics, furniture delays, and COIs."
