Vella Interiors is a boutique construction firm based in New York City, trusted by leading architects and designers to execute complex, detail-driven residences.

Founded in 1988 by Michael Vella, the firm is built on a foundation of precision—executing carefully considered design with discipline across budget and schedule. An intuitive understanding of aesthetic intent, down to the most intricate detail, has led to long-standing collaborations with some of the finest architects and designers working today, as well as a body of work recognized in leading publications.

The firm’s expanded 14,000 square foot custom shop operates as an atelier—where skilled artisans, trained in traditional techniques, develop and refine each detail from concept through completion. Fabricators are supported by advanced finishing capabilities and current design technology, allowing custom millwork to be fully integrated and closely managed from mock-up to final installation.

Well versed in both classical and contemporary design, Michael’s expertise informs a culture defined by exacting standards, technical rigor, and craftsmanship. This approach is carried through on-site by experienced project managers and job captains, supported by a team that ensures project information remains clear, organized, and accessible to all stakeholders.

A strong internal culture of collaboration and accountability underpins every project. The consistency of service, attention to detail, and level of execution remains constant—regardless of scale or scope.
