Our Studio
Starting out as a husband and wife team, Chad and Bonnie share a passion for all of the arts but most importantly the built environment. We value our family business and draw from our experiences with our children and loved ones when curating spaces for other families. Our goal is to create timeless designs that clients can create memories in for a lifetime.
BONNIE PERUSSE
At a young age Bonnie realized that the spaces she occupied had the power to affect her mood. So she began to absorb everything she could about the built environment. Bonnie graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a Bachelor's of Architecture in 2009. At the beginning of her career she worked in residential architecture in NY. The projects were impeccably detailed and well crafted. However life circumstances led her to move to Missouri where she worked at a firm pumping out 75+/- retail projects all across the country. It was an incredible opportunity where she learned so much about project management and permitting but after 4 years she needed to move closer to family on the East coast, to Atlanta. Here she worked at firms as project manager for retail, multifamily and industrial projects. She loved this work but raising her kids began to take priority. After taking some time off she and her husband decided they would like to pursue their original passion of residential design together in their own firm, Perusse Design Studio.
CHAD PERUSSE
Growing up Chad's father was a realtor, Uncle was an residential architect and his grandfather was a contractor. One could say that the love for house designs is engrained in his DNA. Chad graduated with a Masters of Architecture from University of South Florida, Tampa in 2015. Throughout his career he has been exposed to various building types from large mixed use projects and hotels to single family residential homes. These experiences gave him valuable knowledge of how to put together complex structures. Chad's true passion and expertise lies in building design, transforming a client's vision into 3 dimensional form and generating renderings that capture the essence of the design intent.
With this knowledge he is able to deliver beautifully designed homes curated specifically for each individual's needs.
