ABOUT

Principals, Andrew Lucich and Oni Lazarus are opposite sides of the same coin, united in their passion for exceptional styling. With Andrew’s powerful combination of knowledge and instinct bolstered by his residential design pedigree, and Oni’s foundation in project management and landscape architecture, they are dedicated to beautiful transformation.

Their innate understanding that every space has a story to tell and their capacity to uncover that narrative is second to none. They also have the unique ability to balance emotion with operational needs, ensuring ease of maintenance without sacrificing design. These qualities are why so many hotel brands have trusted Andrew and Oni to develop their hospitality styling standards.

  • "We live in a time where the business of design has had to reposition. Now more than ever, experience building is not just about look and feel of a final product – but also about the path to get there. Balancing style with nimble efficient thinking and operational excellence are key factors in that. AO Studio understands the ethos of each project, and delivers product that embraces storytelling with technical expertise and support that ensures quality and longevity. I am so lucky to be able to call them partners, and because we have so much fun with what they do – friends."

  • “We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work and to share our design vision with AO Studio. When Auro Hotels completed the construction and design of the AC Hotel by Marriott in Greenville, SC, we knew it was a must for AO Studio to step in and complete the look. When the design was complete, our hotel looked polished, stylish, inviting, and within budget. AO knew our vision and embraced it and left us with a truly memorable experience and a fabulous design we will enjoy for a long time to come. Thank you, AO, for your creativity and dedication and we look forward to working with you on future projects.”

  • "Styling and accessorizing spaces is quintessentially a significant part of ensuring a rich experience, and positive engagement within the space. Oni and her team are quick to understand the spatial personality and emotional narrative and establish a tailored emotional narrative to shape the memorable aspect of placemaking. They not only have a keen eye for design detail and thoughtful curation but also understand the importance of long-term operational maintenance. AO Studio are the kind of partners I can always trust to understand the scope of work, and assuredly rely on the lasting results of their craft.”
