What Studio PCH does

Studio PCH is a boutique architectural and interior design firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Venice, California, with additional offices in Los Angeles, Mexico City (CDMX), and Paris. The firm is led by French architect Séverine Tatangelo and operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees, providing comprehensive architecture and interior design services from concept through completion for high-end hospitality and luxury residential clients.

The firm's project portfolio is anchored by a deeply embedded design relationship with the Nobu hospitality brand, spanning at least eight global locations including restaurants and hotels in Malibu, Los Cabos, Newport Beach, Istanbul, Warsaw, Santorini, Barbuda, and Lana'i. Beyond Nobu, Studio PCH has delivered projects for Universal Music Group (Interscope Records studio in Santa Monica), Soho House Malibu (formerly Nikita Restaurant), and a series of luxury residential commissions including the Azzurra Penthouse, Sunset Residence, and a 7.5-acre Bora Bora compound completed in 2023. Project sizes range from roughly 3,100 SF (penthouse remodels) to 270,670 SF (Nobu Hotel Los Cabos interior), reflecting meaningful capability scaling over time.

Studio PCH monetizes through fixed-fee, project-based professional services engagements quoted individually based on scope, scale, and complexity. Distribution is direct: the firm relies on its published project portfolio, earned media coverage in outlets such as Architectural Digest, Forbes, Vanity Fair, Wallpaper, Dezeen, and Dwell, and principal-led business development to attract premium hospitality brands and high-net-worth residential clients. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external capital or parent company. Delivery is supported by an ecosystem of architect-of-record and local-architect partners including Montalba Architects, WATG, OKB, Elastica Studio/Stones & Walls, Doxiadis+, and Medusa.
