Buying off-plan (VEFA) has major advantages—but the final result can feel generic. Our role is to turn a standard unit into a finished, functional, high-end interior by integrating your real-life needs from day one. We support projects in Paris, Le Perche, on the French Riviera, and across France, with full on-site supervision when needed.
The right timing: get involved as early as possible
When should you contact an interior architect for a new-build project?
As early as possible. Ideally from the reservation stage, or before signing the final deed. The earlier we step in, the more we can improve the plan and the options—instead of “fixing” things after handover.
Optimizing the developer’s plan: our core expertise
Can you help us optimize the developer’s layout?
Yes. VEFA plans are often standardized. We optimize them so the home matches your day-to-day life, your volumes, and your priorities (daylight, storage, circulation).
- Space optimization: reduce wasted corridors, enlarge the living area, improve circulation.
- Layout customization: primary suite, office, guest room, more functional kitchen, etc.
- Functionality: sockets and switches, door swings, storage zones, real-life use cases.
Decoration and bespoke details: giving character to a new build
Do you handle decoration and bespoke elements?
Absolutely. Once the plan and TMA are validated, we design the full concept: materials, palette, lighting, furniture, and bespoke joinery. The goal is to avoid the “generic new-build” effect and deliver a coherent, finished, durable interior.
- Bespoke joinery: libraries, dressing rooms, built-in storage, screens, headboards, etc.
- Materials: flooring, tile, paint, textures, finishes—overall coherence.
- Lighting: balance natural and artificial light, locations, intensities, ambiance.
- Furniture & sourcing: strong pieces, correct proportions, harmony with volumes.
VEFA handover: protecting your investment
Do you provide support at the handover appointment?
Yes. We can assist you at key handover to identify non-compliances, questionable finishes, and any deviations from the requested TMA changes. This step is crucial to protect your investment and ensure corrections are properly requested.
Our VEFA method, step by step
Our VEFA support has one goal: an optimized interior before delivery, then a controlled fit-out plan, with decisions made in the right order.
| Stage | What we do | What you gain |
|---|---|---|
| Reservation / before deed | Plan analysis, optimization, lifestyle priorities. | A layout aligned with how you live. |
| TMA with the developer | Clear package, decisions, coordination of modifications. | Avoid paying twice and limit rework after handover. |
| Design & decor | Materials, lighting, joinery, furniture, overall coherence. | A home with character—not a standard unit. |
| Handover | Checks, snag list, TMA compliance, follow-up on corrections. | A secure handover and finishes up to standard. |
VEFA in Paris, Le Perche, on the French Riviera… we handle the field
“New build” doesn’t remove complexity: technical constraints, developer options, finishes, and coordination. Our structure allows a complete support, with teams mobilized depending on location.
- Paris (75) & Île-de-France: surface optimization, built-in storage, urban and condominium constraints.
- Le Perche (28/61): adding warmth, noble materials, and bespoke details to a new build.
- French Riviera: Saint-Tropez, Cannes… staging volumes, terraces, and high-end furniture.
