Stoop Studio provides full-service design for New York City townhouses. We approach each home as a whole, balancing its historic architecture with the rooms and routines of everyday life.
We work with clients undertaking large-scale townhouse renovations, and we stay involved from the first floor-plan conversation to the day the last painting is hung. That continuity is the point. The plaster crown, the kitchen stone and the brass on a cabinet door are decided together, as one set of choices rather than one contractor at a time. The result is a house that feels of a piece: layered, expressive and deeply personal.
We bring classic architecture and traditional craftsmanship together with bold color, expressive materials and a modern point of view, creating homes that honor their history while feeling collected, comfortable and entirely their own.
We design for how people actually live, 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.
A home is built in the details. From custom millwork and considered architecture to hand-knotted rugs, unlacquered brass and one-of-a-kind antiques, every element is chosen with intention. We work with skilled makers, tradespeople and workrooms because craftsmanship should be felt in daily use, not just admired on installation day.
The best interiors leave room for discoveries. We mix antique and contemporary furniture, art, textiles and pieces found along the way. Each room has its own character, connected by a clear design point of view rather than a matching set of finishes.
We start with a conversation about how you live, what you love and how you want your home to feel. We learn your routines, your point of view and what you hope the rooms can become, then look closely at the house itself to build a shared vision.
We translate that conversation into mood boards, space plans and a clear design direction. We present options for layouts, materials and color, then refine them together until the direction is settled and ready to be drawn in detail.
We develop the detailed elevations, renderings and specifications that give every surface, fixture and furnishing its place. Working with your architect and builder, we coordinate the interiors so the design is clearly documented and ready to be built.
We handle sourcing and purchasing, coordinate vendors and track every delivery. When something arrives damaged or runs late, we deal with it, so you don't have to. At installation, we bring the rooms together: furniture placed, art hung and the final layers in place.
