The Minds Behind Studio 19
A Vision Born from Excellence
Founded in 2014 by architectural designer Victoria Sterling, Studio 19 has expanded from a boutique New York design suite into a globally recognized studio known for crafting signature luxury residences and workspaces.
Our design process is deeply collaborative. We believe that a space must function flawlessly while carrying an emotional resonance. By pairing architectural rigor with custom materiality and art curation, we create environments that feel refined, tailored, and layered.
From Manhattan penthouses to seaside villas, our work is defined by its clean proportions, warm neutral palettes, and absolute commitment to quality execution.
Our Design Ethos
Aesthetic Rigor
We do not follow fleeting trends. Our spaces are built upon classic proportions, clean lines, and neutral backdrops that withstand the passage of time.
Bespoke Tailoring
Every piece of millwork, lighting placement, and fabric selection is fully customized to our clients’ unique daily habits and aesthetic desires.
Sustainable Luxury
We source natural, high-quality, durable materials from ethical global artisans, ensuring that our projects support craft heritage and environmental responsibility.
