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.

NEW YORK CITY
THE HAMPTONS
MIAMI

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 founded Studio Kestrel in 2019 to design homes that prioritize how people actually live — not how rooms photograph.

His background is unusual: degrees in engineering and journalism, alongside years of living and traveling across continents — bicycling from Atlanta to Buenos Aires, motorcycling through Southeast Asia, India and New Zealand — absorbing the design languages of cultures where homes are built to support real life, daily ritual, and a deep sense of belonging.

The combination of systems thinking, careful observation, and global perspective shapes every Studio Kestrel project.

OUR APPROACH

Four phases, fully managed.

Every project starts with a consultation, then moves through four phases — from concept to final styling. Full-scale renovations typically run 14 to 24 months; lighter projects — pied-à-terres, rental and investment properties, and turn-key apartments — can complete in 6 to 10.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

A 2-hour design consultation

A focused working session — not a meet-and-greet. We discuss your goals, refine the vision for each space, and develop a detailed scope of work. 

01

Concept Development

Floor plans, palette direction, mood boards, and concept presentations. We refine through review sessions until the design story for the home is fully resolved.

02

Design Documentation

Technical drawings, finish schedules, lighting plans, and furniture specifications — the level of detail trades and contractors need to execute without guesswork.

03

Procurement & Project Management

Furniture, finishes, lighting, and art — ordered and tracked through delivery. We work closely with contractors, architects, and trade partners through construction, so renovations and installations stay true to the design.

04

Installation & Styling

A full install with our team on-site. Furniture placed, art hung, shelves and surfaces styled. The home is finished and ready by the time we leave.
