A note from our founder
Pava Atelier is a full-service design studio led by Iris Ledesma (B.D. Architecture, UF · M.Arch, RISD) working across interiors, architecture, and product design.
Every project, from a built space to a handmade object, is guided by the same disciplined philosophy: cohesive from concept to detail, sophisticated in form, and built to last. The studio treats spaces and objects with equal precision, believing that beauty lives in the whole, not the parts.

-
Ideally, involve us during the early planning stages, before layouts and construction selections are finalized. Early collaboration allows us to consider furniture placement, lighting, cabinetry, and materials together, helping the finished space feel cohesive and reducing the need to revisit decisions later.
-
We begin by learning about your needs, priorities, aesthetic preferences, and anticipated investment. From there, we develop the design direction and refine the layouts, materials, and selections. Depending on the agreed scope, we then prepare design documentation, collaborate with the construction team, and coordinate furnishings through installation and styling.
-
Yes. Collaboration is an essential part of our process. With bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture and extensive experience in interior design, our founder brings an understanding of both the overall space and its finer details. We work alongside architects, contractors, and specialist consultants, with each professional responsible for their contracted scope.
-
Our fees reflect the scope, complexity, and anticipated involvement required for each project.
Depending on the services, we may propose a fixed design fee, hourly billing, or a combination of both. Your proposal outlines the services, fee structure, and payment schedule before work begins.
-
Your overall investment depends on the size of the space, the extent of the work, and the furnishings and materials selected. We discuss your priorities and anticipated budget early so we can assess the fit and establish a realistic direction. Design fees, construction, furnishings, and associated costs such as freight, receiving, delivery, installation, and applicable taxes should all be considered.
-
Timelines vary according to the project’s scope, the construction schedule, and the availability of materials and furnishings. Custom pieces and window treatments may require additional production time, while timely client decisions help keep the process moving. We discuss the anticipated schedule at the outset and communicate updates as the project develops.
