THE STUDIO


About

Smith Hanes Studio is a studio of interior designers, architects, and industrial designers, performing at the top of their game.

With a vigorous appetite to create impactful spaces, the work ranges from restaurants, to hotels, retail, workspaces, and personal residences. We are committed to creating and designing elements that infuse life and character into spaces that people love.

Founded by Smith Hanes in 2004, our Atlanta studio has worked on projects nationwide.  In 2020,  when one of our longtime employees moved to New York, we opened our second studio location, offering the same services in New York that we’ve been offering for years from Atlanta.  Our interior design planning is known for elegantly proportioned rooms, with an ineffable quality to them…dramatic spaces, beautiful lighting, with an intangible sense of comfort and ease.   


 

Approach

Every project is original and genuine. 

While some place a “skin of decoration” on a project, we study the client’s needs, goals and listen to their dreams. We encourage them to make inspiration boards, make some of our own, then with all that ammo, we discover a design informed by all this. If the space, the people, the experience all vibe together in the end, we know we’ve done our homework.

Our clients are the best in their field.. entrepreneurs, chefs, business people who understand the importance of experience. They are the kind of people who know that how their environment looks and feels makes a big difference.  We are constantly seeking out new inspiration; from historic materials to music to food to classical architecture. Our clients choose us as a partner to navigate their challenges and we take pleasure in coming up with creative solutions to invigorate their spaces.

 
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Ethos

We choose beauty and intrigue as our guides to create spaces with an ineffable quality.

We select materials that patina and design details that delight.

Our passion lies in drawing and creating, not buying and sourcing.

We are committed to commissioning local artists and artisans to make and build our spaces. Our best spaces are made by local hands.

We partner with clients who are the best in their fields, visionaries who understand the importance of experience.


Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
