Structural & Interior Design That Understands You

Why do so many renovations go over budget, take longer than expected, and still end with compromises?


The light switch behind a column, a backsplash that doesn’t look right in your kitchen, and spending way over budget aren't always contractor mistakes. They're design oversights that happen when you don’t have someone who understands the structure and function of your home.




Your contractor builds. Your decorator furnishes. What you're missing is an interior and structural designer who creates spaces that actually feel like you, but also functions for your family. When we're done, you'll love your new space because we explored every possibility together, so there were no surprises before, during, or after. That doesn’t sound like the renos you’ve done before, does it?



Creating spaces that feel like they were made specifically for you


Because they were

Elle3 Design isn't your typical interior design firm. Our founder, Emily Larochelle, built Elle3 by blending her licensed structural know-how with interior design services that actually fit how you live. We get to know you and your home so we can design a space where you won't trip over the dog's toys, your morning coffee spot gets that perfect sunshine, and you don’t have to rip out walls because the permit didn’t get approved.


Not just interior designers. Not just architectural designers.We're both.

Ready to make your space feel like home?

We prepare structural drawings, consult with your general contractor, and collaborate with consultants.  We'll handle all of your permit applications and ensure all approvals are complete so that construction can begin.

In this historical home, we fully renovated the entire second floor. We reconfigured rooms and created a great laundry space and a luxurious bathroom. We were thrilled that this artistic client was able to decorate and stylize her spaces so beautifully!

HISTORICAL BLAIR

This family needed more open concept space; we removed some walls and created a lovely open kitchen with tons of natural light. We assisted with material selections throughout to bring warmth and personality to these spaces.

This project involved demolishing an existing home to the foundations. We designed the entire building, including architecture, structure, and interiors. Hand in hand with a very talented client, this new home became a dream came true!
