WHERE WE WORK
Design Studio with the Global Reach
Lucinda Loya Interiors is based in Houston, but the studio’s work is not defined by geography alone. We actively take on projects in key markets across the United States and remain open to the right project nationally or internationally. Place matters, of course, but the strongest work happens when architecture, client vision, and design ambition are in alignment.
Houston remains the studio’s home base and a defining part of its creative language. From River Oaks and Memorial to Tanglewood and West University, the city’s mix of grand traditional homes, sleek contemporary architecture, and large-scale new builds demands an approach that is both highly adaptable and deeply informed by context, lifestyle, and scale.
HOUSTON
In New York, interiors often begin with the architecture already carrying enormous character, whether that means prewar detail, loft-like openness, or historic conversion.
LLI responds by balancing restraint with drama, preserving what gives a property its identity while introducing bold furnishings, art, and contrast that feel sophisticated, urban, and highly personal.
NEW YORK
Los Angeles invites a different cadence: openness, light, indoor-outdoor flow, and a stronger dialogue between architecture and atmosphere.
Whether the setting leans modern, hillside contemporary, or classic California, LLI approaches these interiors with clarity and a sense of ease, always elevating the experience without losing the natural rhythm of the space.
LOS ANGELES
Connecticut homes often carry a quieter kind of grandeur, where proportion, tradition, and setting play a central role.
LLI adapts by layering warmth, character, and refinement into these environments, respecting architectural heritage while shaping interiors that feel current, tailored, and deeply livable for the families who inhabit them.
CONNECTICUT
In Kentucky, scale, craftsmanship, and a sense of legacy often shape the design conversation from the outset.
LLI responds with interiors that feel grounded yet elevated, drawing together architectural detail, rich materials, and thoughtful furnishing to create homes with presence, polish, and a genuine sense of place.
KENTUCKY
Aspen calls for interiors that understand mountain architecture without becoming predictable.
LLI approaches these projects with a refined balance of texture, structure, warmth, and restraint, creating spaces that feel luxurious and composed while still responding to the natural landscape, seasonal light, and the quiet drama of the setting.
ASPEN
Dallas interiors often reward confidence, scale, and strong visual identity.
In this market, LLI brings a sophisticated understanding of statement-making design, blending architectural clarity with bold material decisions, custom details, and carefully curated furnishings that feel polished, expressive, and entirely resolved.

SADDLECREEK RESIDENCE

CLAPTON CHAPEL APARTMENT
Luxury Apartment Design
New York City, New York
Set within a former Victorian Gothic chapel in New York City, this remarkable apartment balances preserved historic architecture with bold contemporary art, sculptural furnishings, and couture-inspired detailing. The result is theatrical, layered, and unmistakably one of a kind.
THOMPSON HOTEL HOUSTON
Boutique Hotel Design
Houston, Texas
At Thompson Houston, LLI shaped a rooftop pool deck and hospitality destination that feels vibrant, elevated, and distinctly social. A custom-tiled infinity pool, private cabanas, layered seating zones, and Sol 7 create a polished urban retreat with resort-like atmosphere and strong commercial appeal.
From private residences to hospitality environments, Lucinda Loya Interiors approaches every project with a strong point of view, exacting attention to detail, and a commitment to creating spaces that feel both memorable and enduring.
