Shaping the soul of space.
Sculpting French elegance.
From visionary workplaces in Los Angeles to intimate seaside homes in Miami, we bring art, architecture and everyday life into harmony.
Two coasts. One design language.French Modern · Classic FrenchResidential & Commercial
01 / The studio
An elegant resonance between art and space.
4Y is a high-end interior design studio spanning the East and West Coasts. Under the Maison & Aura signature, we create spaces with a sense of place, a clear point of view and a deeply personal connection to the people who inhabit them.
In Los Angeles, our focus is on creative offices and immersive brand environments. In Miami, we compose high-end apartments and private villas where French romanticism meets the ease of contemporary coastal living.
Our approach begins with listening. We balance symmetry, proportion and exquisite craftsmanship with open layouts, purposeful functionality and a carefully edited collection of materials, furnishings and art.
Classical spirit. Contemporary life.

THE MATERIAL PALETTE / CONCEPT STUDY
Touch, texture & craftsmanshipShape your material palette
Beauty you can feel.
The most compelling interiors reveal themselves slowly. A stone edge, the grain of timber, the way fabric catches the light: each decision adds to the experience of a room.
A quiet architectural anchor.
Honed marble and limestone bring depth to fireplaces, surfaces and thresholds. We consider the veining, finish and maintenance needs alongside the surrounding palette.

Your next space
begins here.
Tell us what you have in mind. We invite you to arrange a one-on-one consultation with a dedicated design expert.
Before we begin
A few useful details.
What should I bring to the first consultation?
A few inspiration images, your location, approximate floor plans if available, and a sense of your budget and timeline. We can help clarify the brief even if you are at an early stage.
Can you combine classic and contemporary styles?
Yes. This dialogue is central to our approach: classical proportions and handcrafted details provide the foundation, while contemporary furniture, lighting and layouts keep the space comfortable and relevant.
Do you offer furniture and art consultancy?
Our bespoke service can include furniture, fixtures and equipment, decorative finishes, styling and art consultancy. The scope is shaped around your project during the consultation.
What makes a French modern interior feel balanced?
We start with proportion and circulation. Classical moldings give the architecture rhythm, while contemporary furniture, restrained decoration and layered lighting keep the rooms comfortable. The aim is a coherent interior rather than a collection of historical references.
Can an existing home be renovated in phases?
Bring your priorities to the first conversation. We can discuss an overall design direction and an agreed sequence of rooms or selections, so that individual decisions remain connected to the wider vision.
How is a project scope established?
We start with your goals and the existing space, then discuss the level of design development, selections and execution support required. Deliverables and coordination responsibilities are agreed before work begins.
