Welcome to The Residence by Born & Bred Studio,

our dedicated service for clients seeking refined, bespoke interiors with absolute discretion.

We specialise in super-prime London residences, from landmark new builds to sensitive period renovations. Many of our clients are international families relocating to London, particularly from the US, who rely on us to create homes that feel instantly familiar yet distinctly tailored.

Led by Central St Martins graduate Lisa Mettis, The Residence blends fashion heritage with two decades of design expertise to deliver interiors that are timeless, functional and quietly confident.

Our role extends far beyond design:

• Procurement & logistics — we manage every detail of complex, high-value projects.

• Coordination — seamless liaison with contractors, developers and estate management.

• Discretion — peace of mind for clients often managing homes remotely.

For international families, relocation often centres around London’s world-class schools. We design children’s bedrooms, study areas and family spaces that support both education and wellbeing, alongside sophisticated entertaining and living areas.

Our work has been recognised in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Domino and Evening Standard, reflecting a decade of client trust and repeat commissions.

At The Residence, every home becomes more than a place to live: it is a sanctuary, a statement, and a seamless extension of your story.
