About us

Atelier CV is a New York–based interior design studio founded by Christine Zeqiri and Valerie Goldin-Remm.

 

Our work lives at the intersection of architecture and feeling — spaces that are thoughtfully composed, deeply functional, and grounded in the rhythms of everyday life.

Comfort is non-negotiable; a room isn’t successful if you don’t want to sit in it for more than fifteen minutes.

Our Philosophy

Transparency

Clients deserve clarity, inclusion, and honest communication — from decisions to trade-offs and timelines.

Personalization

Every choice is shaped around the client: their preferences, their history, their way of living.

Comfort as a design principle

Beauty only matters when it supports ease, flow, and genuine well-being.

Elegance without fragility

Materials chosen for longevity, finishes selected for practicality, forms shaped by function.

Every home begins with a conversation. Our process is clear, collaborative, and intentionally paced — built on listening closely, refining together, and shaping a design that feels aligned with how you live now and how you want to live, in your updated or new home.

Each phase is personal and fluid, guided by transparency and shared understanding.

The Heart of Our Work

We founded Atelier CV because home matters. Not in a cliché sense, but in the way a space truly shapes how you feel, how easily you move through your routines, how proud you are to host friends, and how grounded you feel at the end of a long day.

Design influences those emotional realities — and we believe that is meaningful work.

Our purpose is to create homes that reflect the character and lifestyle of the people inside them. Comfort is non-negotiable; a room isn’t successful if you don’t want to sit in it for more than fifteen minutes.

When a home balances beauty and function, proportion and comfort, personal taste and timeless design principles, it becomes a place of growth.

Our Design Process

Designing a home involves thousands of decisions. Our process is structured to remove that overwhelm and replace it with clarity, communication, and thoughtful guidance.

Experience & Recognition

Christine and Valerie met at the New York School of Interior Design, where their complementary strengths were immediately clear.

Christine brought structure — precise detailing, functional thinking, and a technical fluency of construction. Valerie brought intuition — a sharp emotional awareness, experience with applied materials, a fashion-trained eye for composition, and a sensitivity to how spaces shape the way people feel and act.

Before interiors, both founders built careers in fashion. Christine worked in merchandising, store design, and visual display.

She developed a meticulous eye for composition, quality, spatial hierarchy, and the practical aspects of the design business: sourcing, production, and execution.

Valerie spent a decade modeling for luxury houses around the world, gaining a front-row education in global aesthetics and an acute sensitivity to detail, mood, and profound ways design can shape feeling.

Those early careers gave them a shared foundation: great design is the balance of form and function.

Atelier CV creates interiors that blend refinement with character — contemporary, clean, and deeply personal. Now designing in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, and the surrounding regions.

    Valerie Goldin-Remm

    Founder & Principal Designer

    Valerie believes that a home should do more than just look beautiful; it should nourish the soul. Guided by the principle that our surroundings directly influence our well-being, she focuses on creating environments that support the daily lives and mindsets of those within them. Her approach relies on observing how people move through their world, ensuring each design supports their natural rhythms and habits.

     

    Before co-founding Atelier CV, Valerie spent a decade as an international model collaborating with global luxury brands. This period of extensive travel and immersion in the fashion industry sharpened her eye for craftsmanship, proportion, and how light and texture shape a room’s atmosphere. She integrated these perspectives into her design practice after completing her studies at the New York School of Interior Design.

     

    By focusing on the relationship between a space and its inhabitants, Valerie creates interiors that feel both current and enduring. Her work is defined by an intentionality that transforms a residence into a sanctuary so that every room is a genuine reflection of how one wants to live.

    Christine believes that a high-end home should be as functional as it is beautiful.
