Dereaux Studio: Los Angeles Architecture & High-End Interior Design
Specializing in custom luxury residential architecture, complete home renovations, and comprehensive fire rebuild services in Los Angeles, Malibu, Topanga, Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and Southern California.
To live fully is to feel connected. We design for both, with curiosity as the compass and feeling as the foundation.
The Studio
Founded in Los Angeles by Anne Dereaux, our studio approaches architecture and interior design as an exercise in storytelling and profound curiosity. We believe true luxury isn't defined by excess, but by intention, patina, and the careful layering of history with modern living. Across both residential and commercial projects, we prioritize artisanal craft and structural integrity to create environments that feel deeply personal, curated, and nourishing to the spirit.
This perspective is grounded in Anne’s twenty years of experience and a technical foundation from Tulane and Cornell University. Her background in both architecture and creative direction allows the studio to bridge the gap between structural precision and artistic intuition. Whether overseeing ground-up construction or final interior curation, we ensure a seamless, expertly executed dialogue between a building’s "bones" and the human experience.
Our Process
Discovery & Site Narrative
Every space tells a story. Before we draw a single line, we listen deeply to both you and the land. We walk your site, study the light, and learn the rhythms of how you wish to live, establishing the foundational narrative of the project.
Conceptual Foundation
Through a highly collaborative exchange, initial visions take shape. We gather materials, explore spatial relationships, and draft early concepts—allowing the design to slowly sharpen into focus while ensuring it authentically reflects your aesthetic.
Technical Architecture
We transition concepts into meticulous technical documentation. We consult with specialized engineers, finalize procurement of artisanal fixtures and vintage elements, and manage the bidding process to ensure the transition to reality is seamless.
Execution & Installation
As inspiration becomes reality, we act as your liaison. We regularly visit the site, overseeing the craftsmanship and ensuring the integrity of the design is maintained, culminating in a finished home that feels as though it has always belonged to you.
