A studio in residence — designing toward an autumn debut.
Maison La Thu is a boutique interior design studio working across Oregon, Washington, and Texas on private homes, hospitality openings, and commercial spaces. The full site arrives in September — between now and then, we're taking on a small number of commissions.
A note on how we work — Maison La Thu meets clients on site, over phone, or over video — wherever the project lives. Best reached at studio@maisonlathu.com.
A letter, sent slowly — never more than once a month.
Early access to design studies, material explorations, and the occasional essay on the slow craft of building a home.

We're an interior design studio — we design rooms and manage the build through our construction team. When a project needs architectural or engineering work, we partner with licensed firms and coordinate it. Those are partner services, not in-house ones.

Hello there,
Maison La Thu is a small interior design studio working across Oregon, Washington, and Texas — four to six projects a year, across residential, hospitality, and commercial. My background is in construction and operational consulting; most of the past decade has been close to real estate and the people who shape it.
I started the studio because after years of running businesses, the rooms were always the thing I kept coming back to. What I care about now are the slow parts of the work — the third coat of plaster, the second year of a sofa, the reveal that's ⅜″ because that's the one that's right.
If you're planning something for this fall, write to me. The best time to reach out is when the idea is still half-formed.
Yours,
Three ways to begin, between now and launch.

A selection, as authorship.
Before a studio has rooms to show, it has things it would choose. A partial list — an evolving library of what we specify, where we source, and why.

Each is a complete interior for a hypothetical client — brief, mood, materials, plan. They publish in sequence between now and September.
