Crow’s Perch Pool House · Bucks County
The practice
Thoughtful interiors begin with close attention—to a home’s proportions, its history, and the rhythms of everyday life.
We bring structure to complex decisions and warmth to the finished rooms, balancing material, function, and a collected point of view. The result is personal rather than prescribed.

Emeline & the studio
A design practice grounded in how homes are made—and how they are lived in.
Emeline Tinsman, Allied ASID, founded the practice after building her experience in Philadelphia’s residential design community. Her work brings contemporary ease to houses with history, with particular attention to color, material, custom millwork, and architectural continuity.
The studio is intentionally small. Each project receives direct design leadership, close collaboration, and the practical perspective that comes from years of residential renovation work.
Rooted here
Bucks County is home.
Our work is informed by the varied houses, craft traditions, and layered landscapes of this region. We primarily serve Bucks County and welcome the right residential projects in Princeton, Philadelphia, the Main Line, and surrounding communities.
A related capability
Design informed by building.
Emeline Tinsman Design is the interior design practice of Emeline Tinsman Design LLC, also home to Armitage Interiors, our residential design-build and remodeling division. Clients may engage the design studio independently. When integrated design and construction is useful, that experience is close at hand.
