At SR/A we aim to create a culture of collaborative creativity and excellence. Our boutique approach allows our team to delve deeply into the ins and outs of each project, resulting in designs that reflect the unique identity and brand of each project. I am proud of the quality of work we’ve accomplished over almost two decades, and look forward to more to come!
President & CEO
SR/A (short for Sabine Roy and Associates) began as a partnership between designer Sabine Roy and her husband, architect Sean Saidi. In the days before founding, SR/A was merely a passion and concept that began while the pair were working in New York City. Sabine envisioned a firm that would provide personalized, residential style aesthetics to commercial and hospitality projects by way of her design experience and Sean’s architectural expertise.
Despite SR/A’s burgeoning success, Sabine still felt something was missing: a retail gallery to compliment the firm, similar to a prior business setup she was afforded in New York. Sabine searched for a space that could fulfill such a demand for months, until a former client led her to an available property in downtown Bethesda. After extensive renovations, SR/A moved into its new location on Wisconsin Avenue in 2013. Shortly after, La Collection came to fruition as the retail gallery of SR/A, housing vintage antiques, unique furniture and one-of-a-kind accessories.
Throughout the course of 15 years, SR/A experienced tremendous change in infrastructure and growth in achievement. What began as a trio with one project morphed into a thriving, close-knit team with more than 30 successfully completed projects. SR/A got involved in the community by participating in numerous charity events, and still continues to work for the community by hosting annual events such as its annual dog adoption with City Dogs Rescue. By developing strong, lasting relationships with clients and local artists, SR/A made its mark on the community by offering top-notch service and striking design projects.
SR/A will continue to provide quality work for our clients by pairing a strong architectural focus with a commitment to tailored, boutique designs for each and every project. We are more dedicated and devoted than ever and are committed to ensuring our clients consistently receive the best service. With the launch of our small business division, SR/A TOO, we look to the future and aim to bring our signature style to even more building segments such as senior living and student housing and the ever-growing renovation market. Regardless of where this journey takes us, we are thankful for each and every heart-felt connection that has given meaning to our work and for all of our supporters that have helped make SR/A the firm that it is today.
Success that's driven by the passion of our clients.
