Philosophy
At Ancré Studio, we approach interior design as the careful shaping of environments that support everyday life.
A home is not only visual, it is experienced through light, sound, temperature, material, and movement. These elements quietly influence how we feel, function, and recover over time. Our work begins with observation and listening. Before form or aesthetics are defined, we seek to understand how a space should support the people living within it, how it should restore, regulate, and feel across daily rhythms. Light is treated as a design material, colour as an environmental tool, and texture as a form of comfort.
A truly liveable interior requires environmental stability. Clean air, acoustic calm, thermal comfort, and materials chosen for performance and longevity are essential foundations, not technical afterthoughts.
We are drawn to interiors that feel anchored and deeply inhabitable, tactile surfaces, quiet contrasts, sculptural lines, and spaces that remain calm even when life is full.
Ancré Studio creates homes that evolve with their owners, designed for longevity, clarity, and a slower, more considered way of living.
Alice Dalloz
Ancré Studio is led by French-Australian interior designer Alice Dalloz, whose approach is shaped by a long-standing interest in human behaviour and the way environments influence how we feel, function, and recover.
Alice is particularly drawn to observing how people live, how they move through their homes, gather, retreat, rest, and adapt spaces to their daily rhythms. No two households function in the same way, and each project begins with understanding these patterns of use, habit, and lifestyle before design decisions are made.
Her perspective has been shaped by lived experience across Europe and Australia, where differing approaches to residential design highlighted the importance of environmental comfort. Exposure to European standards of thermal performance, insulation, and material longevity refined her understanding of how invisible details, temperature stability, acoustic softness, air quality, quietly shape comfort and wellbeing at home.
Rather than approaching interiors as purely visual compositions, Alice views them as systems that support everyday life. Her work balances interior architecture with sensitivity to light, material, proportion, and sensory comfort, creating spaces that feel calm, grounded, and intuitively easy to inhabit.
Each project is developed through close collaboration, with a focus on clarity, longevity, and homes that quietly support the people living within them.
