MEET THE TEAM BEHIND YOUR RENOVATION IN FRANCE
Renovating a property in France is about much more than creating a beautiful interior. It means making important decisions, coordinating the right professionals and having people you can trust on the ground — especially when you live abroad.
At Perspectives Architecture & Design, our Paris-based team combines creative design, technical expertise and local knowledge to guide you from the first ideas to the final handover.
We believe the best projects are built on trust. That's why you'll always know who is working on your project, who to speak to and who is representing your interests in France.
The people behind your renovation
A successful renovation is always a team effort. Over the course of your project, we'll design, discuss, make decisions, visit the site and solve the unexpected together.
At Perspectives Architecture & Design, each member of our Paris-based team has a clear role and brings a different area of expertise to your project.
ANDZELIKA SZWEDO
The one who turns your project into reality.
From pre-purchase consultations to on-site meetings, Andzelika bridges the gap between design and construction. She coordinates contractors, oversees the work and represents your interests in France when you can't be there yourself.

“We believe that well-designed spaces begin with well-built relationships.”
CHLOÉ FONTAINE
The one who imagines the place you'll call home.
Chloé starts with the way you live, your habits, needs and tastes. She translates them into a fully personalised interior design. From layout to materials and finishes, every detail is crafted to feel uniquely yours.

“A successful interior shouldn't simply look beautiful — it should be thoughtfully designed and truly lived in.”
LUCILLE FONTAINE
The one who keeps everything moving behind the scenes.
Organisation, communication, development and new tools: Lucille keeps Perspectives running smoothly, allowing the team to stay focused on your project and remain responsive wherever you are in the world.
Business Development Manager
“Innovation is a mindset — a way of thinking and a way of living.”
Perspectives was founded on one simple belief
A successful renovation isn't only about the home we create.
It's about how confident you feel throughout the journey.
Renovating a property can be incredibly exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming, especially when you're managing the project from another country.
We created Perspectives Architecture & Design around a simple idea : great design, technical expertise and clear communication should always go hand in hand.
By combining creative thinking with a strong presence on site, we make sure you understand what's happening, why decisions are being made and what comes next.
Because a successful renovation should leave you with more than a beautiful home. It should also feel like a project you were able to enjoy and trust from beginning to end.
By your side at every stage of your renovation
LISTEN
DESIGN
COORDINATE
From the first conversation to the final handover, our team stays involved throughout your renovation. We listen, design, coordinate and keep you informed — so you can remain part of every important decision, wherever you are in the world.
Local presence makes all the difference
A renovation can't be managed entirely from behind a screen.
Pre-purchase visits, site surveys, meetings with contractors, technical checks and site supervision all require someone to be physically present when decisions need to be made.
Based in Paris, our team is regularly on site throughout our projects. For clients living abroad, this local presence means having someone you trust who can see what's really happening, ask the right questions and react quickly when needed.
Because some of the most important decisions are made on site — not from behind a desk.
And yes, we get around Paris by motorbike — because being available on site matters more than being stuck in traffic.
Local presence makes all the difference !
A trusted network, built over years
You don't need to know the French renovation market — that's part of our job.
Over the years, we've built a trusted network of contractors, engineers, joiners, kitchen specialists, stone suppliers and other skilled professionals who share our standards for quality, transparency and attention to detail.
Some are long-standing professional relationships ; others are family-run businesses we've known and worked with for years.
This means we can bring the right expertise to each project and surround you with professionals we know, trust and are used to working with.

Home Renovation – 155 sqm
Working with Andzelika on our home renovation was one of the best decisions we made!
During the design phase, she adapted perfectly to the different needs of our family—from our youngest daughter's bedroom to our teenagers' rooms, as well as the master bedroom and our living space.
Throughout the renovation, she always responded thoughtfully and effectively to the unexpected challenges that naturally arose on site.
Attentive, efficient and professional, she was someone we could rely on with complete confidence. In the end, every member of our family is delighted with the result.

Homes designed around the people who live in them
Every property has its own character — and every client has a different way of living.
From Paris apartments and second homes to investment properties and international projects, our work is never based on a signature style. We design each interior around the people who will live there, while respecting the character and potential of the property itself.
Discover some of the homes we've had the pleasure of designing and renovating, from the first ideas to the final handover.

our areas of intervention
Our regional expertise extends throughout Paris intra-muros. Although our interior design firm is historically located at 261 rue du faubourg Saint-Martin in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, this does not prevent us from working everywhere! Currently, we have completed projects in the 9th, 10th, 13th, 15th, 17th and 19th arrondissements.
We also work in the inner suburbs (Hauts-de-Seine 92, Seine-Saint-Denis 93, Val-de-Marne 94). In Hauts de Seine, we mainly work in Asnières-sur-Seine, Bois-Colombes, Colombes, Courbevoie, La Garennes-Colombes and Levallois-Perret since these are the towns around where we live. We are also keen on projects in the surrounding areas: Reuil-Malmaison, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Boulogne Billancourt....
We have an extraordinary advantage for getting around: we are on a motorbike! So we no longer have any limits (not even traffic jams): in this way our radius of action also extends to other cities in the Île-de-France, covering Essonne (91), Seine-et-Marne (77), Yvelines (78) and Val d'Oise (95). Among the many cities, we can mention La-Celle-Saint-Cloud, Charenton-le-Pont, Chatou, Le Vésinet, Versailles, Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche, Marnes-la-Coquette, Vaucresson, Maisons-Laffitte, Sceaux, Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, and many others.
We also offer to carry out projects remotely, as was the case, for example, with this project in Athens . Once the quote has been taken, we work on our computers, so it's easy to work remotely! And let's not lie to ourselves, since COVID, it has become a habit to hold meetings on Zoom, Googlemeet, or Teams...
