Ella Roché Atelier Experience
Ella Roché Atelier is the luxury design arm of STUDIO42, where refined French Country interiors meet the soul of New Zealand living. The boutique design experience is led by myself - Elmarié Smart - New Zealand-based Architectural Interior Designer. With a passion for timeless European interiors and deep local knowledge, I help global clients create meaningful homes rooted in beauty and purpose.
At the heart of Ella Roché Atelier lies my love for handcrafted beauty and the narrative of place. Born form STUDIO42’s passion for Crafting Luxury Interiors that Lift your Soul, Ella Roché Atelier celebrates French Country grace through a premium lens—exclusively imagined for those building their next legacy in Aotearoa.
Each collaboration begins with a deep understanding of my clients' journeys—bridging cultural threads between American sophistication and New Zealand serenity. Through meticulous design, curated antiques, refined materials, and bespoke artful details, I conjure interiors that feel inherited, treasured, and eternally timeless.
Join me on this journey and craft a space that's rooted in elegance, elevated with heart, and designed just for you.
