Hello, my name is Etienne Hoedemaker, and I am a 23-year-old Franco-Dutch Interior Architect with a deep passion for the creation of soulfull and nostalgic spaces.

My love for interior architecture began at a very young age, and after four incredible years of studying in the UK, I am eager to bring my vision to life in the real world. More than anything, I am excited to collaborate with a team of like-minded creatives who share my enthusiasm for thoughtful, detailed and emotionally rich design.

​

I've been fortunate to gain hands-on experience through various internships, including a transformative year at Benoy. While invaluable, it reinforced my desire to work in a smaller studio.

I deliberately stepped outside my comfort zone early in my career to learn from a larger firm. Now, I’m eager to apply that knowledge in a setting aligned with my long-term aspirations. My freelance projects have also been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to shape my design process and collaborate closely with clients. I thrive on blending my style with theirs to craft unique, user-focused experiences—listening and creating for them is the most important thin to me.

Growing up between the beaches of Nice and the Alpine plateaus, running through our small medieval villages, I developed a deep connection to nature. I love exploring new landscapes and engaging in outdoor sports, which help me refocus and find fresh inspiration. Having grown in those villages, I always try to evoke their sense of belongingness and comfortability into my designs.
