Founded in 2013 by designer Helena Voss, Velthaus Studio operates from the belief that great design is not decorative — it is structural. It changes how you feel in a space, how you move through it, how you live inside it.
Helena Voss launched Velthaus with a single conviction: that thoughtfully designed space is not a luxury — it is a right. Starting with residential work in New York, the studio has grown into a nationally recognized firm operating from our flagship studio in Manhattan's Flatiron District.
Our team of nine designers brings together backgrounds in architecture, fine art, material science, and sustainable sourcing. We are diverse in training, unified in standard.

A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Helena has spent two decades studying how human beings relate to the built environment. Her work has been described as "architecture for the senses."
She founded Velthaus because she believed most design studios were solving the wrong problem — focusing on aesthetics over experience.
RISD graduate, 20 years in residential and commercial design. Leads all principal projects.

Expert in sustainable sourcing and biophilic lighting design. Certified LEED professional.
Nothing in a Velthaus space exists by accident. Every object, material, and light source is chosen with purpose and placed with precision.
We refuse to use materials we can't stand behind. Sustainable sourcing is embedded in every project, at every price point.
We work for you — not our portfolio. The most beautiful room we could design means nothing if it doesn't match your life.
From millimeter-level spatial planning to construction oversight, our standards of execution are non-negotiable.
