We work with ambitious stewards of space—individuals and teams who believe in the power of design to shape how we live, work, and gather.
Our ideal clients are discerning homeowners and visionary developers who value design as a long-term investment. They seek a collaborative partner to navigate complex sites, unlock hidden potential, and bring ambitious ideas to life through meticulous site planning, architecture, and interiors that are both refined and responsive.

Our holistic approach ensures that architecture and interiors work in harmony to create spaces that are not only visually striking but also deeply functional and meaningful.
At Mahya Salehi Studio, we are dedicated to creating engaging, functional, and visually striking spaces. From initial concept development to project completion, we manage all aspects of architecture and interior design with precision, creativity, and collaboration, delivering environments that enhance the human experience.
Architecture encompasses the design of the entire structure, including the spatial layout, exterior form, building envelope, and integration with the site, while also obtaining the necessary permits for construction. Interior design on the other hand, focuses on creating functional and pleasing interior spaces through the thoughtful design and selection of finishes, fixtures, and equipment.
We view these two disciplines as interconnected and complementary. Our holistic approach to architecture and interiors ensures a cohesive and responsive design sensibility throughout the project.
Our comprehensive interior design services begin with a careful review of your functional needs, lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. We believe that your home is a portrait of you. Our role is to portray your desires through a lens of functionality, longevity and a discerning eye for beauty. A singular set of aesthetic codes does not bind our work, but it is underpinned by a sense of elegance, thoughtfulness, and an unwavering commitment to creating spaces that inspire and endure.
The process is captured through detailed 2D interior drawings and immersive 3D renderings that provide a realistic preview of the space before construction begins.
In the era of pinterest and AI imagery, we are faced with an abundance of inspiration and endless possibilities which could feel overwhelming and time consuming for homeowners. As we thoughtfully navigate the infinite choices, we strive to create spaces that truly resonate with you. We embrace the architectural language and honor your vision, all while balancing budget, timeline, and long-term maintenance needs.
This collaborative journey involves our vast network of manufacturers, vendors and skilled artisans who bring our shared vision to life. With open hearts and minds, we embark on each project, committed to building upon love.

Our Process
Project Inception – The planning phase where we collaborate with the client to define project goals, needs, and feasibility.
Schematic Design – Initial concept sketches and layouts explore design possibilities based on requirements and budget, with ongoing client feedback.
Design Development – Further refinement of the design, material selection, and cost projections to ensure alignment with the project’s vision and financial scope.
Construction Documents – Detailed technical drawings and specifications required for permitting and contractor bidding.
Bidding & Negotiation – Assisting clients in selecting contractors by evaluating bids and facilitating contract preparation.
Construction & Contract Administration – Overseeing construction to ensure execution aligns with design intent, quality standards, and project goals.
Our Advantage
Virtual Reality (VR) Integration; See It Before You Build It – Virtual reality is one of the best tools to truly understand your architectural design before committing to a huge construction investment. It allows you to step inside your future home at full scale and experience the layout, flow, and spatial relationships in a way that drawings and 3D renderings simply can’t match. By walking through your design in real time, we can make live adjustments and fine-tune early, ensuring that what gets built aligns beautifully with your vision and lifestyle.
First In, Last Out; We build lasting partnerships – guiding our clients from first sketch to final detail. From site discovery and feasibility to architectural design, permitting, interiors, and construction coordination, we stay present through every phase. Our role is more than design—it’s advocacy, vision, and continuity. Designing the home is only the start—we help shape the story of how it comes to life.
