About the Studio

Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, our studio is rooted in craftsmanship and propelled by personality. Every project begins with listening. Placing our clients’ needs and vision at the heart of the design. We craft interiors layered with texture, contrast, and visual intrigue, where curated color palettes and considered materiality create a sense of balance in every room. Through thoughtful curation and collaboration, we bring each client’s vision into full expression, working locally and on projects around the world.

Led by Courtney Hemmerling, York Avenue Studio began with a tiny cabin renovation and grew through word-of-mouth as Courtney helped friends reimagine their spaces. What began as a handful of small projects evolved into a fascination with the transformative power of design; where functionality, personality, and thoughtful design principles come together to shape how a space is experienced.

The studio offers a full suite of services: design-build, interior design, furniture packages, styling, and floor plan and permit packages. Whether managing a complete project or providing targeted support, we tailor our approach to each client’s needs, blending creativity and technical expertise to make every project an enjoyable and inspired experience.
