What Christopher Roy & Co. does

Christopher Roy & Co. is a privately held, founder-owned full-service residential interior design firm founded in 2018 by Christopher Roy, who previously served for a decade as Design Principal at the celebrated San Francisco firm Tucker & Marks. The firm operates from two offices—a headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina and a regional office in Sausalito, California—and serves high-net-worth residential clients across the San Francisco Bay Area (Hillsborough, Palo Alto, San Francisco, San Rafael) and South Carolina (Charleston). Service lines cover the full interior design lifecycle, including concept development, space planning, finish selections, custom furniture and cabinetry design, kitchen and bathroom design, lighting and textile selection, and project installation management for both new construction coordination and renovation or historic-preservation projects.

The firm's core deliverable is bespoke interior design, with no proprietary technology platform; competitive differentiation rests on classical design sensibility, founder pedigree, and a curated network of world-class architects and local builders, including documented collaborations with Andrew Skurman Architects and Van Acker Construction. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements quoted project-by-project based on scope, scale, and complexity, with no publicly disclosed pricing, retainers, or volume programs. Marketing is primarily portfolio-driven via the firm's website, supplemented by industry visibility through memberships in the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA), the Design Leadership Network, and the Preservation Society of Charleston. The firm has no external investment, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no parent company, and its 2022 Julia Morgan Award from ICAA represents its primary third-party validation to date.
