OUR STORY
STUDIO ARCHER
Studio Archer was established in 2020 by Sofia Vladimirova, who at the time specialised in delivering high-end residential projects on a more intimate scale. Prior to founding the company, Sofia had gained extensive experience working on a variety of luxury residential developments, building strong relationships with trusted suppliers, manufacturers, and specialist contractors along the way. This network enabled her to offer clients a complete design and delivery service, from initial concept through to final completion.
Some of Sofia's early projects included the renovation of a prestigious Blue Plaque property in Hampstead and the interior design of a substantial new-build mansion in Surrey. These projects showcased her ability to create distinctive, highly personalised interiors while managing complex project requirements and demanding client expectations.
In 2024, Studio Archer reached a significant milestone when Sofia was approached by a client who had acquired an 800-square-metre property in Beaconsfield and required a complete renovation of the entire home. The project represented a considerable step up in both scale and complexity, with a particularly demanding programme and delivery timeline.
To support the successful execution of this landmark project, Sofia invited her partner, Chris, to join the team. With over 15 years of experience as an architect, Chris had built an impressive career delivering highly detailed and technically complex projects, including numerous five-star hotels throughout London. Initially brought on board specifically for the Beaconsfield renovation, Chris quickly proved to be an invaluable addition to the business.
The partnership combined Sofia's creativity, design vision, and flair for bespoke interiors with Chris's expertise in technical delivery, project coordination, and on-site management. The complementary nature of their skills created a highly effective working relationship, and following the success of the project, Chris remained with Studio Archer as a Director.
Today, Studio Archer continues to offer a fully integrated approach to luxury residential design and delivery. Sofia leads the creative direction, crafting unique and tailored interiors that reflect each client's lifestyle and aspirations, while Chris oversees the technical execution of every project, ensuring exceptional quality, precision, and seamless coordination from concept to completion.
