At Aurélie Penneman Interior Architecture, every project is guided under one creative direction, from the very first concept to the final finishing touch. Whether the starting point is a historical property with a story worth preserving or a new build with a blank canvas, the process stays the same: spatial layout, material palette and architectural detailing are established first, then carried through every stage that follows, right up to the last object placed in the room.

Designing spaces that tell your story, from concept to completion.

Full-service interior architecture

Beyond spatial layout and aesthetics, our in-house expertise covers the entire technical foundation of a project. From detailed electrical, plumbing, and HVAC plans to acoustic insulation and energy-efficient solutions, we integrate every system seamlessly into the design. For structural interventions, building permits, or new builds, we work alongside architects, structural engineers, and energy consultants to ensure complete technical compliance, regulatory approval, and uncompromised quality.

Limited approach

Aurélie Penneman Interior Architecture intentionally accepts only a select number of projects at a time, ensuring dedicated, personal involvement from initial concept through to final delivery. Spaces are designed with purpose and built to last, combining refined design, high-quality materials, and true craftsmanship that endure well beyond the moment of handover.

Collaborations

Behind every interior is a network of ateliers and workshops built up over years. From joinery to lighting, each partner is chosen for specific project demands. Working alongside dedicated general contractors and site coordinators, these long standing partnerships enable us to source exceptional materials and execute complex technical details that go far beyond standard off the shelf options.

Styling & art

Once the architecture and finishes are in place, attention turns to what completes a space: furniture, lighting, textiles and objects. Many pieces come from Aurélie Penneman’s own design collections, bringing bespoke art, lighting, and cabinetry into a project. Where a space calls for something unique, furniture is designed and produced specifically for the room.

Our process

We guide high-end residential, commercial and retail projects from initial vision to final delivery, ensuring an effortless experience and complete peace of mind.

  1. Initial inquiry & qualification
    We begin with an initial alignment to explore your ambitions, space requirements, and investment scope. During this first phase, we evaluate project feasibility, structural needs, and potential permit requirements, ensuring our approach aligns seamlessly with your vision for the space whether residential, commercial, or retail.
  2. Concept & tailored design
    We translate your vision into a distinctive design concept, curated layouts, and refined material selections. Alongside spatial planning, we prepare comprehensive technical blueprints including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and joinery details to ensure design aesthetics are matched with technical perfection.
  3. Execution & completion
    To ensure flawless execution, we work alongside professional site coordinators and general contractors who manage day to day site logistics and planning. Retaining overall artistic oversight and key milestone inspections, we guide the project toward a refined, bespoke result finished to the highest standard.

Frequently asked questions

While an interior designer (or stylist) primarily focuses on loose furniture, styling, and aesthetic finishes within an existing layout, an interior architect goes much further. We completely reshape the spatial layout and manage the entire technical and structural transformation.

Our scope extends far beyond surface aesthetics to cover the full technical execution:

  • Structural & Spatial: Layout reconfiguration, new exterior joinery, and major spatial decisions.
  • Technical & Building Systems: Comprehensive planning for electrical, plumbing, screed (chape), PUR insulation, as well as thermal and acoustic insulation.
  • Focus on Energy Efficiency: We put a heavy emphasis on your property’s energy performance and optimizing its energy values, ensuring the design is as sustainable and future-proof as it is visually refined.

To ensure absolute precision in this technical phase, we collaborate directly with expert structural engineers and energy consultants.

Yes. We prepare all technical execution drawings in-house, including electrical layouts, lighting plans, plumbing, HVAC integration, and acoustic considerations. For major structural changes or specific energy-performance requirements (such as insulation, screed, and exterior joinery), we partner directly with specialized structural engineers, architects and energy consultants to deliver fully compliant, future-proof spaces.

To maintain the highest execution standards without compromising on design quality, we partner with professional site coordinators and general contracting firms for daily on-site supervision. Aurélie Penneman conducts key milestone inspections and maintains artistic direction throughout the build, ensuring every detail aligns with the original vision while dedicated partners manage day-to-day site logistics.

Frequently. For new builds, major extensions, or projects requiring structural building permits, we collaborate smoothly with external architects. The architect focuses on the building envelope and structural permits, while we take charge of the interior architecture, spatial layout, technical plans, and refined finishings.

We design high-end residential, commercial, retail, and hospitality spaces. While based in Belgium, our practice operates worldwide. We manage projects across Europe in major cities such as Paris and Milan but we also operate in North America and Asia.

We approach every project from an architectural perspective; optimizing layout, light, and flow before focusing on materials and custom furnishings. By managing technical plans, energy integration, bespoke joinery, and expert craft collaborations, we deliver a cohesive, turnkey result that elevated aesthetics alone cannot achieve.
