AURÉLIE PARADISO DESIGN
MORE ABOUT US
Design Principal, Aurélie Paradiso, leads a collaborative team of designers, consulting architects + engineers, and an extended network of fine artists and craftspeople to deliver cohesive, functional, and inspired design solutions. With 25 years of practical experience on a range of private homes and cultural projects, Aurelie’s design practice is founded on her finely honed understanding of space planning, materials, construction details, and efficient project management.
Aurélie established her studio after a ten-year tenure with the award winning New York firm Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects. In this time with Williams and Tsien, Aurélie worked as a lead designer and project manager on the design and construction of a 38,000SF church and community outreach center in downtown Washington, D.C. among other notable projects.
Aurélie received her Bachelor's Degree in Architecture and Art History from Columbia University and her Master’s Degree in Architecture from the Yale School of Architecture. She was also the recipient of an independent project grant from the New York State Council for the Arts. Aurélie has taught in the architecture and interior design undergraduate and master’s programs at Parsons the New School for Design. She has been invited as a guest design critic at Wesleyan University, Carnegie Mellon University, Pratt Institute and New York Institute of Technology.
Aurélie was born in Switzerland to a Swiss-French mother and Italian father, carries three passports (Swiss, Italian and US), and speaks three languages. She travels frequently throughout Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa, Central America and Southeast Asia, allowing the history and culture of these places to inform her work.
