Tell us how the adventure of Atelier Sofia Andrez Interiors has been.
It has been a very interesting and motivating journey, with continued strong growth, and that is due to the fantastic team we have been building. The company was created in 2012 by myself and, since then, we have been growing. Meanwhile, my daughter Joana Andrez decided to join the team in 2017 and today we have 24 fantastic members!
Describe your design process.
Our main goal, in every project we propose to do, is to create a unique and distinctive concept that meets the client’s expectations. To this end, we try to get to know them a little more so that we can create environments that make sense in their daily life and that correspond to their family, social and working life. Most of our projects are residential, so this immersion in the client’s life makes perfect sense. Our ideas are always presented through a digital base (Concept Board and 3D images) and a physical base (fabrics/finishes). In most projects, we enter at a very preliminary phase of the architecture, in order to choose all interior finishes, which allows us to create a decoration concept integrated into the interior architecture, creating a more cohesive result.
Where do you find your sources of inspiration?
Inspiration, nowadays, can come from the most varied sources. However, the main ones continue to be the trips we often make, either for leisure or for work, and the main international interior design, furniture and lighting fairs.
