MEET NICOLE
FOUNDER | NICOLE GOUTHRO
Over the last decade, I’ve built my career at the intersection of interior design, architecture, and new development—an experience that shapes every detail of how I design today. I founded La Côte to bring together the things I value most: intentional design, spaces that invite connection, and a lifestyle rooted in beauty, ease, and purpose.
La Côte is known for its elevated approach to coastal living—where modern refinement meets a relaxed, globally influenced sensibility. I partner with a trusted network of architects, builders, and artisans to guide each project seamlessly from initial concept through the final, curated layers.
We specialize in full-service interior and exterior design, creating timeless, tailored environments that are as functional as they are beautiful. For me, great design is never just about aesthetics—it’s about telling your story with clarity and soul, and crafting spaces that feel thoughtful, curated, and built to last.
La Côte means “the coast” in French—a thoughtful nod to both my French Canadian heritage and California coastal living that continually shapes my design perspective. The name reflects the essence of the studio: rooted in storytelling, inspired by travel, and grounded in a modern, elevated aesthetic.
