ABOUT US

DUAL is a boutique architecture and interior design studio rooted in timeless design and architectural integrity. Founded in 2007 by architects Luisa Elena Martínez and Elizabeth Tsoi, DUAL was born from a creative partnership grounded in mutual respect, shared values, and a deep desire to build something bigger than themselves.

Our philosophy is simple: great design is both functional and soulful. Every space tells a story—and our job is to translate our clients’ vision into spaces that feel purposeful, beautiful, and personal. We are interpreters of dreams, working with care, empathy, and technical excellence to craft spaces that inspire and endure.

From Venezuela to the United States, our portfolio spans residential, commercial, and cultural projects, each one reflecting DUAL’s distinctive blend of innovation, elegance, and heartfelt intention. Our studio’s growth is rooted in word-of-mouth and long-lasting client relationships—many of whom become friends and collaborators over time.

We believe in listening—truly listening—to people and to places. Our work doesn’t follow trends; it responds to the essence of a space and the lifestyle of those who inhabit it. We combine the precision of architectural thinking with the warmth of storytelling, resulting in spaces that are at once intelligent and intuitive.

Whether we’re reimagining a family home or designing from the ground up, we approach every project with the same dedication: to create something meaningful, lasting, and uniquely DUAL.
