LOBBY Studio, Paris 18th
FRMost agencies refuse to answer. Here are our ranges, what they cover, and what makes them move.
Asking an agency for a budget is usually an ordeal. Three emails, a video call, then a number that lands after you have already invested three weeks. We would rather be transparent on the first page. If our ranges do not match your project, you will know in two minutes and we will both have saved time. If they do match, the conversation starts in the right place.
$16,000 – $44,000
Duration, 6 to 10 weeks
For an existing property whose identity no longer reflects the real experience. We rework the positioning, the narrative and the visual expression without starting from scratch.
$44,000 – $98,000
Duration, 3 to 5 months
The most common format. For an opening, a heavy renovation or a change of ownership. We build the brand from the story through to how it lives in the spaces and every touchpoint.
from $98,000
Duration, 6 months and beyond
For a group, a portfolio of properties or a brand meant to be replicated. The question is no longer an identity but a system able to live across several places without diluting itself.
We are strategic architects, not day-to-day executors. These figures do not include interior architecture project management, fabrication and installation, media buying, or the operational running of social media. We work with trusted partners on those areas and coordinate the whole when it makes sense.
One third on signature, one third on approval of the art direction, the balance on delivery. On longer projects we move to monthly milestones. Detailed quote and written scope before anything starts.
Because an identity for a 12-room hotel and a platform for a six-property group share neither the same scope nor the same deliverables. The gap reflects reality, not room to negotiate.
That is our core business. Most of our projects are independent houses and single owners, in France as well as in the United States and Mexico.
Yes, by milestone. We adapt the rhythm to the project schedule, especially on openings.
Yes. We run projects in the United States, Mexico and Europe, with on-site milestones and local production partners.
Tell us plainly. We can sometimes sequence the project or point you to a studio that fits better. A bad fit serves no one.
Have a project and a figure in mind? Write to us and we will come back with an honest view on feasibility.
