Frequently Asked Questions-
Savoir is a design studio built on a simple belief: everything holds a story. We design residential and commercial spaces that hold our clients and their story, and we create ventures alongside the makers and artisans we admire.
-
Longevity design is our approach to creating interiors that support how people rest, recover and feel over time. Alongside form and atmosphere, we consider the conditions of a space: light that follows the rhythm of the day, quiet acoustics, clean air and water, natural materials, comfortable temperatures and places for daily rituals like bathing and rest. The result is a space that feels beautiful and quietly supports the people living in it, day after day.
-
Yes. We work with clients around the world on residential, hospitality and commercial projects, and our portfolio includes homes and apartments across several countries. From the first conversation to the final details on site, we guide each project closely, travelling where needed and working with trusted local makers, suppliers and contractors.
-
Every project begins with listening: to you, to the space, and to what it already holds. From there we move through concept and moodboard, plans and layout, material palette, sketches and renders, and sourcing, with pieces from the makers and artisans we work with finding their place along the way. The path stays flexible, so each project takes the route that suits it.
-
Yes. We take every project from start to finish, whether it's a single room or a whole home, restaurant or hotel. Once the design is set, we stay with it through the build: coordinating contractors and craftspeople, overseeing the work on site, and sourcing and installing every piece. The final styling is the last step, when the space is ready and the story is complete.
-
Yes, and we love it when you do. The things you already live with carry your story: an heirloom chair, a painting from a trip, a table that has hosted years of dinners. We look at what you have first, keep what matters to you, and design around it. New pieces join the story rather than replace it.
-
Every project is different, so every proposal is written for yours. After our first conversation, you receive a clear financial outline based on the scope, scale and services your project needs, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
-
As early as you can. The sooner we meet, the more of the story we get to shape together, ideally while plans are still open and the space can still surprise us.
-
Yes. Savoir is led by its founders, Ieva and Maximillian, and they are part of every project, from the first conversation to the final detail.
