We Travel
Several times a year, we travel the world in search of exceptional materials and master artisans, discovering rare pieces that bring depth, character, and authenticity to every project.
Who We Are
Design begins
with understanding.
“You say words. I see a space.” — That is where every project starts. Not with a drawing. With a conversation.
Alexandre Vuillemin
Managing director
Alexandre brings the entrepreneurial vision and operational expertise that transform creative ideas into exceptional realities.
With experience across construction, real estate, international sourcing, and business development, he has built and managed companies requiring precision, coordination, and a deep understanding of complex projects.
At MAISON VM®, Alexandre oversees global partnerships, artisan relationships, logistics, and strategic development — ensuring that every creation, from the first sketch to its final destination, receives the highest level of attention.
The Studio
Two people.
One vision.
Maison VM® is more than a design studio. It is the result of a shared passion for travel, exceptional materials, and the artisans who bring them to life.
Lise brings the creative vision, technical expertise, and intuitive understanding that transforms ideas into spaces you can truly experience.
Alexandre brings the strategy, operations, and global sourcing expertise that turns each vision into reality — with precision and care.
Together, they have shaped and delivered hundreds of spaces, traveled across the world in search of rare materials, and built relationships with exceptional craftspeople whose work is rarely found elsewhere.
Lise Marchal
Creative Director
Trained at the National School of Landscape Architecture in Blois, France, Lise has spent more than a decade designing landscapes, interiors, and bespoke environments where architecture, nature, and craftsmanship become one. Since founding her studio in 2015, she has completed over 250 projects, from private residences to large public commissions.
Her work has been published, awarded, and exhibited internationally, but what defines her most is a singular philosophy: every space should feel inevitable—as though it could never have existed any other way.
Provenance
Every piece has a story that begins 10,000 miles away… Others began millions of years ago.
We Meet
We do not order from catalogs. We meet the people behind the craft, learn their processes, understand their materials, and build relationships based on trust.
We Design
We bring the creative vision. The artisan brings generations of material expertise. Together, we create pieces that are refined, authentic, and unlike anything else.
We Deliver
Every piece passes through our hands before reaching yours. From creation to installation, every stage is personally overseen to ensure exceptional quality and care.
Our Philosophy
What we believe
about design
01 · On Luxury
Luxury is freedom
from compromise.
We believe true luxury is a space that works perfectly for you — one that reflects your personality, your lifestyle, and the way you truly live.
Not someone else’s definition of beautiful.
Yours.
The highest expression of luxury is not the most expensive material. It is the perfect harmony between design, function, and emotion.
“Bespoke is not an option. It is the only answer.”
02 · On Bespoke Design
No two lives are identical.
No two projects should be.
We never begin with a template.
We begin with you.
Your lifestyle. Your routines. The way you welcome people, relax, and experience your home. The things you cannot always put into words about how a space should feel — that is what we discover through conversation.
A project is not complete when it simply looks beautiful.
It is complete when you cannot imagine your life there any other way.
“We never imagined this... but this is exactly what we wanted.”
03 · On Indoor & Outdoor
One continuous
way of living.
We do not see indoor and outdoor as separate spaces.
We see one lifestyle flowing through connected environments.
Your living room, terrace, garden, and outdoor spaces should feel like a natural extension of one another — designed for the way you live, gather, and experience every moment.
In Nevada, outdoor living is part of everyday life. We create spaces that embrace the climate, the seasons, and the unique rhythm of desert living.
04 · On Materials
A material is seen
before it is felt.
Before you touch a surface, you have already perceived it — its temperature, its texture, its presence. Materials are not decoration. They are the emotional foundation of a space.
We work with wood, stone, clay, and natural fibers — materials that carry history and soul.
A hand-shaped piece of wood. A slab of petrified wood formed over millions of years. A ceramic piece carrying the signature of the artisan who created it.
“Beauty is essential. But it must be lived with.”
05 · On Our Clients
We design for you,
not for the portfolio.
A beautiful space and a livable space are not always the same... but we believe they should be.
Every project is designed around the way you truly live — the conversations you share, the moments you create, the quiet mornings and unforgettable evenings at home. Our work should look exceptional in photographs because it feels exceptional in everyday life.
It is never about creating a space that represents us. It is about creating a space that represents you.
