Design Insights & Inspiration

Comfort, function, and beauty are not separate ideas — they are built together, from the beginning.

The Atelier CV blog explores residential interior design through the lens of planning, renovation, and daily living. Sharing our experience from real projects and giving answers to common interior design questions, each piece offers perspective on the decisions that shape how a home is designed and, ultimately, experienced.

    Valerie Goldin-Remm

    Founder & Principal Designer

    Valerie believes that a home should do more than just look beautiful; it should nourish the soul. Guided by the principle that our surroundings directly influence our well-being, she focuses on creating environments that support the daily lives and mindsets of those within them. Her approach relies on observing how people move through their world, ensuring each design supports their natural rhythms and habits.

    Before co-founding Atelier CV, Valerie spent a decade as an international model collaborating with global luxury brands. This period of extensive travel and immersion in the fashion industry sharpened her eye for craftsmanship, proportion, and how light and texture shape a room’s atmosphere. She integrated these perspectives into her design practice after completing her studies at the New York School of Interior Design.

    By focusing on the relationship between a space and its inhabitants, Valerie creates interiors that feel both current and enduring. Her work is defined by an intentionality that transforms a residence into a sanctuary so that every room is a genuine reflection of how one wants to live.

By focusing on ergonomics and architectural flow, she ensures that every residence she designs at Atelier CV feels natural and intuitive. Her signature is a refined precision. She prioritizes the layouts, lighting, and small details that elevate a space from a house to a sanctuary.

    Before co-founding Atelier CV, Christine built a career in fashion merchandising, store design, and visual display. From passion projects to designing spaces in her family’s home, she has a holistic understanding of the construction and renovation process, including managing budgets and coordinating trades. She studied at the New York School of Interior Design.

    Christine applies this blend of technical rigor and functional sensitivity to create homes where every detail has purpose, comfort is protected at all costs, and design supports the way people truly live.
