ABOUT VALLIERE DESIGN STUDIO 

Marcel Valliere is the owner and lead designer at Valliere Design Studios and brings to the studio a rich and deep background in the areas of art and design. The son of an art historian, Marcel has been immersed in the world of art from a very young age, for years assisting his father in the operation of his art gallery and participating in historical research in the recovery of undiscovered art works. Marcel later studied design at the industrial design program at the Mass College of Art, and while attending school, he also worked in the custom design cabinetry shop at Payne/Bouchier in Boston, Massachusetts. After years of working in the arts, then studying design and employing actual concepts in the hands on work of cabinet making, Marcel was drawn to an independent career in architectural design; thus began Valliere Design Studios. 

With experience in the arts, industrial design and his love of architecture, Marcel has a unique perspective and a fresh approach to designing space and rethinking existing conditions.  Over the years he has had the pleasure of creating many unique and functional environments for clients Additionally, as Valliere Design Studio has grown, so too has the ability to engage some of the finest artists, craftsmen, and designers in the state of Maine, tapping into a wealth of artistic vision.

**★★★★★ — Jenny Besser, May 2017**

> Marcel Valliere worked with us on the design and construction of our home renovation from 2012 to 2014. This was a significant project, the complete gut renovation and combination of two historic brownstones on Beacon Hill. The total size of the space was 8000 square feet, and involved unusually shaped spaces, the removal of most of a structural party wall between the two houses that were combined, a large roof deck, the installation of an elevator, and the challenge of designing one space for personal and office use, and the other as an investment property, all in a constrained footprint. Marcel has an amazing eye for space, and he allowed us to maximize its use while making its look and feel conform to our vision. His ability to work with cabinetry, lighting, and even complex stair layouts was critical to achieving our vision for the house, but no detail was too small for his attention. We were able to use every dead space; we hid TVs, made secret cabinets, hid a litterbox in a wall, installed retractable folding tables in a tight laundry room, the list is long… Collaborating with Marcel was seamless. Between our crazy ideas, his imagination, ingenuity, skill and ability to re-imagine, no idea was impossible.
> Recently, we asked him to solve a problem we were having with the door handles on the elevator, and he both provided a casting solution and recommended an alteration in the handle design that has made it much more reliable. We would heartily recommend him to anyone working on a home design project, large or small. We were grateful throughout that project that we had found him, and if the need ever arose, would hire him again, and we constantly recommend him to friends and family!
> Jenny and Jeb Besser"

**★★★★★ — Claudia and Guy Scalzi, May 2017**

> We had a beautiful piece of ocean front property in Maine, a wish list and a file full of ideas and magazine clippings.
> Then we met Marcel.
> Over several months he turned our hopes and dreams into a truly beautiful home.  He got to know us, our style and what was important to us in how we live.  This was mostly done long distance as we lived in New York City!
> Marcel was terrific to work with, and we developed a wonderful collaboration.  He gave us our home, not his version of what we wanted.  He always managed to give us the best solutions and offered exciting options to consider such as an elliptical staircase and track lighting (so cool).  We quickly came to value his design sense and attention to detail.  There are a myriad of decisions required in designing a house; it's daunting.  With Marcel's guidance and support it became a productive process and fun experience.

**★★★★★ — Richard Pearse, March 2017**

> Marcel is an extraordinary designer. We hired him to completely renovate our old kitchen and his design, communication, time frame, and just wonderful personal nature far exceeded our already high expectations. Far beyond just looking to finish a job and get out, Marcel really dug into our desires for the immediate and future functionality of the kitchen and incorporated our specific needs into the layout and flow of the space. I would recommend him with absolute confidence to anyone looking for both a "Wow" outcome and for a space that is customized to your own lifestyle and needs.
