STUDIO AP
Welcome to STUDIO AP
Where interior architecture takes shape with emotion and vision.
We are Aude Schuermans and Philippine Ceulemans, the founders of Studio-AP, a duo with a shared passion for thoughtful spaces and timeless aesthetics. Together, we translate stories, habits, and dreams into refined interiors that inspire and endure. Our approach is personal, intuitive, and always tailored to the unique context of each project. Discover how we redefine the way we live, work and experience space.
From total renovation to new construction.
We guide each project with attention to detail, quality, and functionality. Whether it's a complete renovation or a new build, we translate your vision into a thoughtful and harmonious interior.
Our Design Process
“Every project starts with listening, to the place, the client, the context.”
Every project begins with listening. We take time to understand your needs, your lifestyle, and the unique character of the space. Through in-depth conversations and site analysis, we gain the insights needed to shape a tailored design approach.
We begin with conceptual studies and preliminary designs, translating your ideas into thoughtful layouts. Using 3D visualisations, we bring these concepts to life, allowing you to see and feel the atmosphere of the space before it’s built.
Material selection is a collaborative process, carefully curated to match your vision and the architectural context. We always take the existing structure into account, integrating the new seamlessly with the old.
Once the final design is approved, we prepare detailed plans and guide the execution with precise site supervision. From concept to completion, we ensure every detail is delivered to the highest standard.
Aude Schuermans
“Every line drawn is an answer to a question we dared to ask.”
With over 20 years of experience as an architect and interior designer, Aude Schuermans has built an impressive portfolio. She has contributed to remarkable projects such as the iconic Castle M in Edegem, the renowned restaurant LP in Antwerp, and the innovative medical center Mediport Cadix. Her designs reflect a harmonious balance between aesthetics, functionality, and a deep respect for the unique context of each location.
Aude began her career at Claire Bataille & Paul Ibens Design and further honed her expertise at Vanhout & Associates (now AIM). Today, she serves as a senior project architect at V+D Architects, a role she combines with running her own practice. Her extensive experience spans private residences, offices, retail spaces, and public buildings.
Starting in 2024, Aude will share her knowledge with students at the University of Antwerp, inspiring them to approach design with research and reflection. For Aude, every project, big or small, is an opportunity to tell a story and push the boundaries of design.
Philippine Ceulemans
“Interior and architecture are not separate stories, they’re chapters of the same book.”
With a sharp eye and a strong sense for atmosphere, I design interiors that feel calm, balanced, and full of character. For me, the connection between architecture and interior is essential, they should speak the same language. I pay close attention to detail and value the relationship between inside and outside, always with respect for the architectural context.
I hold a master’s degree in interior architecture from the University of Antwerp, where I graduated with distinction. My career began with an internship at Eric Chavoix Architects in Mauritius. I then joined V+D Architects in Antwerp, where I currently work as a interior architect and 3D artist. I am involved in every phase of the design process, from concept to execution, always aiming for clarity, material refinement, and spatial harmony.
Detail plays a central role in my work, not just in the way spaces are built, but in how they are perceived and experienced. I use photorealistic rendering as a powerful tool to translate ideas into visuals that communicate atmosphere, materiality, and spatial flow. With my experience in tools like Enscape and my focus on high-quality, realistic presentations, I strive to bring each design to life even before it is built.
