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
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.
01
Initial Consultation & Collaboration
We begin by understanding the rhythms of your daily life through conversation and a home walkthrough to identify what brings ease, remove friction, and create a design that is intentional.
02
Concept Development
We shape the visual and functional identity of your home, using early layouts, aesthetic direction, color, materials, and lighting to set the atmosphere and foundation for everything ahead.
03
Design Execution
We translate the concept into a detailed design by finalizing floor plans, materials, lighting, custom elements, and furnishings while preparing drawings, sourcing items, and coordinating with contractors.
04
Project Management & Coordination
We oversee timelines, logistics, and communication between contractors and vendors to execute the design accurately, efficiently, and transparently and protect quality, budget, and the integrity of the vision.
05
Final Reveal
We coordinate delivery, installation, and styling of every element, from furniture to artwork, and once complete, we walk through the finished space together so you can experience the design fully realized.
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.
