Founded by Brazilians Ana Maria Meirelles and Helena Binnie, House of Canfield was created to make the home renovation process easier and enjoyable.

The studio was born from the co-founder’s own home renovation projects. Overtime, they started helping friends and family with creative interior design solutions and managing small renovation projects. After talking about their shared goal of bringing a different, more efficient kind of business, with a unique style to the American market, they decided to joinforces and founded House of Canfield.

Ana Maria’s expertise in construction and project management, and Helena’s love for decoration and design makes for the perfect partnership. To make their business unique, House of Canfield works as a design build studio. That means HoC’s team is responsible for the management of the entire project, from briefing and development of creative design to project completion.

Helena and Ana Maria have lived and worked in different countries, bringing a baggage of stylistic references and professional experience. Both their families have a deep interest in art and design, which is an endless source of inspiration for them. HoC’s style is inspired by minimalist Scandinavian design and Brazilian modernist culture, with a big emphasis in sourcing local and natural materials. Their projects have timeless quality and minimalist aesthetic that make living easy, with a high degree of functionality.
