StudioMarq is a luxury interior design-build firm specializing in high-end residential and boutique commercial projects based in Sunset Hills, MO. Our mission is to create and transform spaces into works of art that reflect the unique personalities and lifestyles of our clients. Our team is composed of designers and project managers who work alongside our logistics and operations coordinators to ensure every project is completed with precision and care.

What sets us apart is more than just our design-build expertise—it's the values that guide everything we do. With every project, we lead with purpose, design with intention, and build with integrity. We are driven by results, and committed to crafting extraordinary spaces through lasting relationships and continuous growth. Our design-build model offers a seamless, end-to-end experience—from concept to completion—ensuring consistency, precision, and elevated craftsmanship at every stage. While many companies handle designing and building as separate phases, often leading to miscommunication, delays, or budget issues—we offer a fully integrated process. We nurture strong, collaborative relationships with clients and partners alike—because we believe great work is built on trust.

Interior design is the art of creating a refined and livable environment. An interior designer brings harmony, function, and elegance to a space, transforming it into something both beautiful and deeply personal. Design-build services, however, include a fully integrated approach—uniting architecture, interior design, and project management under a single, cohesive vision. As a design-build firm, we oversee the entire process, from the earliest concept to the final finishing detail. This streamlined approach ensures design integrity, seamless execution, and an elevated level of service that eliminates the typical disconnect between designer, builder, contractor, and client.

As a full-service design-build firm, we approach budgeting with the same precision and care as we do design. From the start, we engage in open, transparent conversations to understand your investment goals—and then tailor the design, material selections, and construction strategy to align beautifully with them. Since we handle both the creative and the construction aspects in-house, we’re able to control costs more effectively than a traditional multi-party model. There are no surprises from miscommunication between designer and contractor. Instead, our team collaborates seamlessly, balancing design aspirations with cost-efficient solutions at every phase. We provide detailed estimates early on, value-engineering options where needed, and make strategic recommendations that maintain the integrity of the design—without compromising quality or elegance.

We handle every detail—including permits and approvals—so you don’t have to. With deep expertise in local building codes and regulations, we ensure your project runs smoothly from day one. Our team brings extensive experience with local building codes, zoning ordinances, HOA guidelines, and regulatory frameworks specific to high-end residential and commercial environments. Our intimate knowledge of the approval landscape allows us to manage timelines efficiently, protect your investment, and maintain the integrity of your design vision—without compromise. When you work with us, you're not only getting a beautifully designed space—you're gaining a trusted partner who ensures that every element is executed legally, safely, and seamlessly from day one.

Our relationship with you doesn’t end when construction is complete, it evolves. We believe true luxury includes peace of mind, which is why we offer thorough post-project support. Our team remains available to ensure your space continues to reflect the highest standards of quality, comfort, and functionality. We’re here to protect your investment, preserve your vision, and provide the same level of care and attention long after the final walkthrough. We provide a comprehensive warranty covering both our workmanship and the materials used in your project. In addition to our own warranties, we collaborate with reputable manufacturers to ensure that the products we use in your design are covered under their respective warranties. We assist you in understanding and utilizing these warranties to facilitate any necessary claims.

Our design-build process is grounded in collaboration. We regularly partner with architects, builders, designers, engineers, real estate agents and other professionals to bring a unified vision to life. With a deep respect for each field’s expertise, we foster a spirit of partnership that ensures every detail—from the structural to the aesthetic—is perfectly aligned.

We tailor a design-build roadmap specific to your needs—whether you're starting with a new build, full renovation, or luxury interior transformation. Reach out to schedule a discovery call, and let’s start bringing your dream space to life.

At our firm, we understand that the quality of your project depends on the skill and reliability of every professional involved. That's why we take great care in selecting and vetting only the most qualified subcontractors and vendors—those who share our commitment to excellence, precision, and craftsmanship. Whether it’s a specialist in custom cabinetry, countertops, lighting, plumbing, tile work, flooring (luxury vinyl plank, hardwood, tile, and carpet) or other bespoke finishes, we ensure that every subcontractor and vendor we partner with is aligned with our values and dedication to deliver exceptional results.
