Learn More About

Studio IQL is a full-service design collaborative based in our renovated 1890s church in Philadelphia. We specialize in residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces that feel personal, thoughtful, and alive.

Our residential work spans everything from historic rowhomes and single-family houses to new builds and full-scale renovations. Whether you're planning a full renovation, a room refresh, or just trying to figure out where to start, we meet you where you are.

Every project starts with a conversation. From there, we assemble a custom team drawn from our trusted network of designers, architects, fabricators, and artists -people we know and love working with. It’s a collaborative process rooted in care, craft, and attention to what makes your space (and story) unique.

Our goal is simple: to create spaces that feel like you, only better.

Our Process

Our Client Concierge connects with you to learn about your project in a Discovery Call. You’ll share your hopes, needs, and timeline. We’ll get a sense of what’s possible and how we can help.
Together over Zoom, we explore function, beauty, and investment. This is where inspiration meets intention. We'll shape the foundation for a proposal that’s tailored to your goals.
Clarity, from the start. We present a clear scope, cost estimate, and contract. Once signed and the deposit is made, the fun begins.
We visit the property and take every detail into account. From there, we can take everything gathered so far (your vision, needs, and site conditions) and request quotes from trusted contractors.
This gives us the information needed to build your digital model.
This is where we begin to visualize the flow, feel, and palette of your space. You'll get a sense of what’s coming to life.
We deliver your tailored package of details, which can include layouts, materials, finishes, and/or furnishings backed by detailed spreadsheets and 3D renderings. Every decision supports beauty, function, and flow.
We manage the magic. We produce final construction drawings, manage procurement, and coordinate custom pieces. Our team handles styling, installation, and those final thoughtful touches.
