ABOUT
Studio Shepel stands at the confluence of architecture, design, and art — an atelier founded over two decades ago by visionary creator Alexander Shepel. Guided by a pursuit of purity, proportion, and craftsmanship, the studio redefines contemporary luxury through spaces that feel both enduring and effortlessly modern.
From its homes in London and New York, the studio creates exceptional spaces across the globe — from private residences and yachts to boutique hotels, private aviation, and landmark commercial developments — each a quiet expression of excellence and distinction.
Since its inception, the studio has become synonymous with a holistic vision — where architecture, design, and art converge into a singular, poetic language of space. As part of the Shepel Group, a collective of design-driven brands united by an enduring devotion to craftsmanship, the studio embodies a continuous pursuit of the extraordinary. Within the Group’s ateliers, master artisans and specialist workshops create bespoke furniture and intricate interior details, ensuring that every element bears the signature of authenticity and artistry. This seamless interplay between creative direction and making allows the studio to curate each project from concept to completion — achieving a timeless harmony of form, function, and feeling.
At the heart of Studio Shepel’s philosophy lies a conviction that design transcends decoration — it is a thoughtful reflection of how one lives and experiences the world. Guided by Alexander Shepel’s architectural vision, the studio embraces a discipline of logic, proportion, and rhythm, where every line is deliberate and every detail speaks with intention. Each project embodies a sense of quiet confidence — spaces that breathe with emotion, where materiality evokes connection and the functional finds poetry in form.
The studio’s creative process unfolds as an organic, multi-layered journey — a dialogue between intuition and precision. From the first spark of inspiration to the careful curation of materials, furniture, and art, each project is composed as a personal narrative, echoing the sensibility and inner world of its owner.
Drawing upon travel, literature, and the art of observation, Studio Shepel nurtures a culture of design where time, stillness, and attention become the ultimate luxuries. Here, design transcends the visual — it becomes a way of thinking, an exploration of beauty that engages both intellect and soul.
Ultimately, Studio Shepel is a story of refinement and reverence — where craftsmanship meets emotion, and every space is imbued with meaning, character, and an enduring sense of life. It is not merely about creating interiors, but about shaping worlds that linger — quietly, unmistakably, and beautifully — in memory.
