ABOUT AAD
We design homes that feel elevated, intentional, and unmistakably personal.
Alix Anopol Design is a boutique residential design studio specializing in custom remodels, new construction, and full-service furnishings. Our work integrates architectural planning with layered interiors, balancing bold expression with thoughtful restraint.
Great interiors are felt as much as they are seen. Light, layout, material, and proportion are developed in relation to how a space actually functions. We design around the way our clients live, creating environments that support both connection and restoration.
Our work is guided by a structured, phase-driven process that aligns design and construction from the outset. Decisions are made early, in context, and carried through with precision. Nothing is treated as an afterthought. Every element is considered as part of a cohesive whole.
Customization is central to our approach. Layouts are tailored, details are resolved, and materials are selected for longevity as much as beauty. The result is a home that feels seamless, grounded, and enduring.
ABOUt the FOUNDER
Alix Anopol is the founder and principal designer of AAD.
With over a decade of experience in high-end residential design, including work in New York City, her background combines formal training with a deeply intuitive design sensibility. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from The University of Texas at San Antonio.
Raised around the high-end design industry through her father, a custom furniture designer, she developed an early understanding of craftsmanship, proportion, and material integrity. This foundation continues to inform her work, where each decision is evaluated for both aesthetic impact and long-term performance.
Her approach balances creative direction with technical precision, ensuring that design intent carries through construction without compromise. Each project is approached holistically, from architectural planning to furnishings and final installation.
She leads with clarity and discernment, guiding clients through complex decisions within a structured and highly intentional process.
Her work is known for being textural, collected, and quietly bold, creating spaces that feel refined, personal, and deeply considered.
STUDIO PHILOSOPHY
A well-designed home is both expressive and grounding.
Some spaces should feel layered and dynamic. Others should feel quiet and restorative. The balance is determined by how the home is used and who lives within it.
We prioritize thoughtful investment over trend-driven design, guiding clients toward materials and furnishings that are built to last. While the market often favors visibility and rapid turnover, our work focuses on longevity, integrity, and cohesion.
We also consider how environments impact the body. Through layered lighting, natural materials, and intentional selections, we create spaces that feel calmer, more supportive, and easier to live in without sacrificing beauty.
Good design is not driven by hype. It is defined by discernment.
Alix has an amazing eye for detail, color, and patterns. Alix helped choose our apartment's color palette and pick out pieces that reflected our vision. She is also meticulous and detailed, creative and innovative, and very easy to work with! I'd recommend her to anyone!
