Rooms that hold a life

Interior design · New York

Selected work

Living room with a cream sofa, biomorphic walnut coffee table and framed works on the wall

We design interiors for people who already own things they love, and want a room built around them rather than in spite of them.

Every project starts with what is staying: the art, the inherited chair, the books. The rest is drawn to fit.

Project 01

Chelsea, New York

The Chelsea
Apartment

A two-bedroom apartment reworked around a collection of postwar prints and paintings. Warm rift oak, teak and leather carry the palette; the walls stay quiet so the art can be loud.

  • ScopeFull interior

The apartment is finished, which is to say it is lived in. Nothing here is arranged for the photograph.

Project 02

Fire Island Pines, New York

The Pines
House

A 1970s cedar beach house by Horace Gifford, furnished rather than renovated. The architecture already does the work, so the brief was restraint: nothing that competes with the wood, the glass or the light coming off the deck.

Cedar takes the colour out of everything you put against it. The palette here is only three notes: grey, jute, and whatever the trees are doing outside.

Project 03

Flatiron, New York

The Flatiron
Penthouse

A duplex penthouse with limestone-plaster walls, a coffered stair hall and a planted terrace over the avenue. Antiques, folk art and a live-edge slab sit together without anyone announcing a period.

Project 04

Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn

The Bed-Stuy
Townhouse

Two rooms at opposite ends of the same house, currently in construction. The kitchen is quiet and modern, white oak against a black soapstone slab, with the garden framed like a picture over the sink. The powder room is the opposite argument: willow paper on every surface, brass, and a checkerboard floor.

  • LocationBedford–Stuyvesant
  • ScopeKitchen & powder room
  • StatusIn construction
  • ImagesRenderings

A small room is the one place worth losing your nerve over. Nobody stands in a powder room long enough to tire of it.
