Hélène Van Marcke Studio

After graduating with honors at the international College of Art & Design in Brussels in 2009, Hélène Van Marcke begins her career as a freelance designer and project manager for the New York-based agency Atelier Charlotte Perelman / Studio CMP. From Paris, she heads the renovation and redesign of a variety of prestigious residential and commercial spaces in Europe and New York. Within two years, she launches her own studio in Paris, with a second location in Ghent in 2017. She divides her time between both cities and with an ever-growing team continues to focus on high-end residences and high-profile commercial projects, such as restaurants, hotels and (shared) office spaces.

Hélène and her team approach each unique project with an open vision, inspired by the historical context and the architectural structure of the building, the client’s personality and lifestyle and the geographic location with its own distinctive building techniques and characteristics. This ensures a truly individualized, functional and aesthetically harmonious result. At all times, the objective is to create a warm and timeless design. Aiming for a well-balanced contrast between light and shade, optimizing the various perspectives within the architecture and towards the outside surroundings, and using pure and generous materials are key to Hélène's philosophy and methods. Custom furniture and tailored detailing are often included in the final concept.
