FEATURED PROJECT · THE QUEEN ANNE PARLOR
The Quiet Drama of a Queen Anne Parlor
We took down a wall, gave this Queen Anne parlor back five feet, and painted its original carved mantel nearly black.

A Garden-Level Kitchen Gives a Brownstone a New Heart
We replaced an all-stainless, restaurant-style kitchen with a fifteen-foot Calacatta Viola island, built for eight stools and an ordinary weeknight.
VIEW STORY →A start-to-finish design process for large-scale renovations.→
From the earliest architectural decisions through final installation, we guide the design of every detail. Each surface, fixture and finish is considered. The result is a home with a level of craft and cohesion only a start-to-finish process can deliver. Layered, expressive and deeply personal.
01Full-Service Design↓
We provide full-service design for New York City townhouses: classic architecture, bold color and a modern point of view, designed for how people actually live. We work with intention rather than trend, balancing old and new, bold and restrained, warm and architectural. The result is a home that feels right today and still has something to say twenty years from now.

Our Virtual Design service is built for a smaller renovation or room refresh. Ideal for clients tackling one or two small spaces, Virtual Design delivers full design direction: floor plans, material selections and sourcing. From there, you handle the ordering, installation and coordination with your builder, on your own timeline.

A Lake Como Toile and Leafy Views Define a Townhouse Solarium
