About ELIKYA Studio Reimagining the Modern Backyard
The Vision
Founded in 2022 by Séverine Rigaud, ELIKYA Studio was born from a passion for global architecture and a desire to bring a distinctive, sophisticated aesthetic to the American backyard. Inspired by the clean lines and functional beauty encountered during her world travels, Séverine collaborated with Bach Design Studio to create a product that bridges the gap between high-end artistry and practical durability.
Architectural Excellence & Integrity
Our mission is to create freestanding studios that seamlessly blend Scandinavian-inspired aesthetics with uncompromising functionality. Each ELIKYA Studio is a testament to the “maintenance-free” philosophy—meticulously designed with premium wood-like composites and architectural metal to ensure your space remains a timeless sanctuary without the burden of upkeep. We prioritize the optimal use of space, infusing tranquility and serenity into every square foot.
A Commitment to Quality
Dedicated to utilizing the highest-grade materials while maintaining cost-efficiency, ELIKYA Studio works hand-in-hand with licensed general contractors to bring your vision to life. This commitment to craftsmanship has earned us the “Best of Gwinnett” award in Specialty Real Estate Services—a reflection of the trust our community places in our work.

The Intersection of Strategy and Artistry
A results-oriented leader, Séverine Rigaud has spent over two decades developing powerful strategic marketing programs for global companies across a diverse range of industries. In 2022, she channeled this expertise into a new vision: ELIKYA Studio. Driven by the high demand for versatile, professional environments, Séverine’s goal is to empower small business owners and entrepreneurs to be self-sufficient by providing high-end, detached workspaces that reflect the quality of their own brands.
Personal Inspiration
The aesthetic of ELIKYA is deeply influenced by Séverine’s personal passions. An avid traveler, artist, and motorcycle enthusiast, she has spent years exploring world cultures, music, and architecture. These global experiences are woven into the DNA of every studio, ensuring that each space is not just a building, but a work of art that fosters creativity and tranquility.
Empowering the Modern Entrepreneur
Séverine understands the challenges of the modern professional because she is one. ELIKYA Studio was designed to allow business owners to showcase their products and services in a private, independent office that stands apart from the home. Whether utilized for professional growth, personal sanctuary, or a strategic rental investment, Séverine’s mission is to provide an architecturally superior solution that revolutionizes how we live and work.
“The word ELIKYA means Hope. Growing up in Kinshasa, I learned that hope is the foundation of every great project. I founded this studio to give homeowners and entrepreneurs the ‘hope’ of a new beginning—providing a beautiful, independent space where they can grow their businesses, house their loved ones, and realize their creative dreams.” — Séverine Rigaud, Founder & CEO
