Annemie V.

Luxury Interior Designer | Hospitality & Wellness

South African by heritage, international by practice — and refined across more than eight years of work in Southeast Asia, the Gulf, Europe, and South America. I design luxury villas, private residences, and boutique hospitality spaces for clients who understand that the finest interiors are never accidental. Based between Barcelona and London, I bring a European creative perspective to projects wherever they are built — from Gulf villas and Southeast Asian resorts to high-end residences across Europe and South America. My work has a clear aesthetic point of view: warm, material-led interiors rooted in the natural environment. Spaces that feel grounded and alive rather than dressed and finished. Light that moves. Rooms that breathe. It is an approach shaped as much by the African landscape as by a decade spent working across the tropics — and it translates across climates, cultures, and project types. Every project begins with a design narrative — a central idea that shapes every decision that follows: the material palette, spatial sequencing, lighting atmosphere, FF&E selection, and the emotional tone of each room. The result is not a collection of beautiful finishes, but a cohesive environment that feels entirely intentional. For hospitality clients, I understand that great design is also operational design. Guestroom sequences, F&B atmospheres, arrival experiences — I design with the guest journey in mind from the first sketch. I offer a complete design service from concept through to execution: - Concept development & creative direction - Space planning & technical drawings - Mood boards, material palettes & FF&E specification - Supplier coordination & procurement - Photorealistic 3D visualisation & CGI. I work with a small number of clients at a time. Every project receives my full attention, from the first conversation to the final handover. If you are developing a luxury residence, a private villa, or a hospitality concept and need a designer who can carry both the vision and the detail — I would love to hear about it.
