The Academy Lane House is located in the Bellport Village Historic District on Long Island . The house is made up of the original structure, constructed in 1850, and various additions from throughout the last century.

We designed the interiors, including custom millwork, plumbing fixtures, kitchen appliances, historical mantels, lighting, and furnishings. In the dining room, built-in millwork runs the length of the room to provide casual seating with storage below. Original wood paneling and pops of color, along with a porch and guest barn for outdoor dining, allow the residents to retreat and socialize.

The 1930s Cape had undergone multiple renovations by its visionary and eclectic prior owners. We chose to preserve the layout and spirit of the house while updating mechanicals, replacing all windows, and transforming the summer retreat into a year-round space for creativity and collaboration.

The palette—painted floors, wood-clad columns, and fresh white baths—was combined with a mix of new and old furniture, melding different eras and materials to create a space that feels as though it is from no particular era.

The Bond Street Loft occupies an entire floor of a building in Manhattan’s NoHo Historic District. The 1,500 SF space was completely gutted to create a spacious two-bedroom home for a family of three.

Every detail was considered to maintain the feel of an authentic New York City artists’ loft while incorporating modern amenities. Salvaged items—such as 10-foot-tall double doors and a 19th century porcelain bathtub—were selected early and the layout designed to accommodate their unique proportions. A custom steel floor-to-ceiling bookshelf anchors the rear of the open living space.

Bonjardim is a master plan and expansion of a historic organic winery in central Portugal. The project transforms the property into a 46-key villa and cabin style hotel while maintaining the site’s agricultural production. New construction and adaptive reuse work together to organize lodging, spa and pool facilities, food and beverage spaces, reception, campgrounds, and parking within the surrounding vineyard.

Two primary buildings, the new restaurant and the restored villa, anchor the development. The architectural language draws from regional vernacular traditions, using stone, plaster, and timber, integrated with steel and glass. Preserved winery structures remain active within the campus and reinforce the site’s working identity. Circulation across the property is structured to balance operational needs with a quiet guest experience, creating a cohesive environment where agriculture, hospitality, and landscape are closely interwoven.

The Brooklyn Heights Townhouse is a 20-foot-wide home on a coveted, landmarked block near the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. The house had retained most of its original details when we were hired to modernize aspects while staying true to its period character.

The final layout closely approximated the original from the 1840s, with a new kitchen on the garden level, two rooms for entertaining on the parlor level, and bedrooms and bathrooms above. Distinct details include a two-tone gray kitchen, playful eclectic wallpaper, and an oversized vintage tub.

Our design for the garden at the Brooklyn Museum provides a quiet refuge from the city where the public can gather. The space was transformed through the installation of a long wood bench composed of solid timbers, offering bleacher-like seating for lounging or future programming, while providing a visual break from the adjacent parking lot.

The design is intentionally flexible to accommodate a wide variety of museum events. Our proposal is that the garden might someday expand into the adjacent parking lot to create a very large outdoor space in the heart of Brooklyn.

The Carroll Gardens Townhouse is located on a quiet, tree-lined street in Brooklyn. We were hired to bring life back to a previously renovated house in which only the original stairway remained intact.

We chose finishes and fixtures, replaced mechanicals, and recreated period details throughout the renovation. The entire rear façade was opened up to bring light into the parlor level and kitchen. Playful children’s rooms, a pink primary bath vanity, and graphic cement tiles add distinctive character to a completely modernized, sunlit townhouse.

The Cobble Hill Townhouse is a large 1850s townhouse in the Cobble Hill Historic District. The project involved a gut renovation of the original structure, a sizable three-story rear addition, restoration of the front façade, and complete interior design services, including the integration of the client’s art collection.

The double-height kitchen is located at the garden level within the new addition. A 20-foot-high steel window wall connects the interior directly to the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a sunken seating area with a custom built-in sofa, and the sculptural plaster stair creates an impactful visual connection between spaces.

The Cumberland Street Townhouse, located in Fort Greene, was completely transformed with a new rear wall and a two-story addition at the back of the house. Interior steel and glass windows mimic the two-story exterior glazing, and doors at the garden level open completely to merge the kitchen and dining area with the outdoor space.

Vines were planted in recessed planters along the double-height party walls, adding an organic quality as the garden melds with the interior. The top of the addition serves as a private balcony for the primary bedroom.

Greenport Inn is a comprehensive renovation and expansion of a corner property just off the town's Main Street into a 22-key hotel. The project reestablishes an active street presence by aligning the reception building with the scale and material character of neighboring storefronts. A small courtyard mediates between the public street and the lodging beyond — a dark gabled structure offering a contemporary interpretation of the region's vernacular forms. Guest rooms and common areas draw on the area's maritime history through color, textiles, and material references, creating a cohesive inn rooted in Greenport's waterfront culture.

The Greenwald-Largent Townhouse is a classic 1860s Italianate brownstone in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District. Equal thought was given to creating formal spaces for entertaining, comfortable family living areas, and the display of an extensive collection of contemporary art.

We fully restored the historic front façade and opened the rear to bring in light and strengthen the connection to the garden. Classically proportioned rooms and architectural details create a rich dialogue with luxurious modern furnishings, and a tactile, sophisticated palette of materials runs throughout the house.

The Greenwich Village Prewar is located on the seventh floor of a 1930s Bing & Bing apartment building designed by the architect Emery Roth. The apartment had been untouched since that decade, and the clients wanted to completely update it, including the layout, while respecting the existing architecture.

Unique details include a custom Art Deco–inspired fireplace, built-in closet niches with casement doors, painterly wallpaper, and child-scaled hardware in the children’s room.

We completed a full gut renovation of this historic, landmarked Greenwich Village townhouse. Built in 1839 in the Greek Revival style, the house had been heavily modified during a conversion to apartments, stripping all original interior detail and relocating the entrance to street level.

We created a dramatic double-height entry to link the street level with the historic parlor floor above, and restored plaster crown moldings, door casings, pocket shutters, and antique marble mantels to contrast with the sleek, contemporary kitchen and bathrooms. The furnishings are an eclectic mix of contemporary and vintage pieces.

il Fiorista is an 85-seat restaurant and boutique located between Madison Square Park and New York City’s Flower District. The concept at its core was to create an energetic space where flowers and herbs would be celebrated, sold, and incorporated into a seasonal menu.

Our services included the design and fabrication of custom polished bronze panels, zinc and ash tables, and selection of new and vintage furnishings and lighting. A large custom interior window with ribbed glass separates the main space from the 20-seat private dining room, which also accommodates the restaurant’s floral workshops.

In this four-story 1850s brownstone designed for a fashion designer, an art consultant, and their children, we were most concerned with the way the space and interiors felt. The result is a bohemian home that is equal parts monumental and tactile, wholly reflective of the creative family who lives there. Restored elements like the delicate parlor crown molding play against clean plastered walls, and rooms were envisioned as tableaux for the couple’s collection of art and textiles.

Impactful interventions are rendered with exquisite materials and delicate detailing—thin railings and posts, an oversized stone-clad island, a family room hearth that becomes a bench, and a travertine primary bath with custom tub. Throughout, connections between outside and inside honor the owners’ love of flowers and nature: patio brickwork is echoed in the garden floor fireplace, a minimalist elliptical skylight floats over the staircase, and a plant-filled solarium connects the garden to the kitchen.

The Lorimer Street Townhouse is a three-story, 25-foot-wide house in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Every wall, ceiling, stairway, floor, and window was replaced in the extensive renovation to create an open, loft-like home for a family of four.

A custom steel and solid wood tread stairway divides the parlor level into a living room in the front and dining and kitchen at the rear, with garden access via three new patio doors. Exposed wood joists, reclaimed wood floors, and simple finishes create a warm and livable urban home.

Nix is a 2,000 SF restaurant in Greenwich Village, strategically close to the Union Square Greenmarket. The renovation was a complete gut, and every detail was considered to create a one-of-a-kind environment for a specialized restaurant type.

Our services included the design and fabrication of a custom steel and glass storefront, several custom light fixtures—including juniper burl ledge lamps, green ball lamps at the railroad booth tables, and bar lights with vintage glass shades. Walls and ledges were hand-troweled, and the entry tile mosaic was hand-placed with tile selected and cracked by our designers.

We transformed a modest 1980s house into a contemporary retreat overlooking the Long Island Sound. The layout was completely reimagined, and all windows, doors, and finishes were replaced. The home offers a mix of new and vintage styles that feels simultaneously connected to an eclectic past while living comfortably in the present.

Polished concrete floors with radiant heating line the lower level, and walls and ceilings are clad in the same Douglas fir as the millwork and custom furniture. We provided complete architectural and interior design services, and coordinated extensive landscape design for this repeat client.

The Orient Farmhouse is a 19th century clapboard home in the Orient Historic District, located on the site of a former orchard. In our renovation, a sunroom at the rear became the focal point of the first floor, reimagined with cement tile, Southern Yellow Pine paneling, and a wood-burning stove for year-round use, strategically placed just off the generous kitchen.

A painted blue staircase “runner,” splatter wallpaper, and a wood-framed kitchen vent bring wit and creativity to this classic Long Island home. The property also features an original barn that we are converting into a pool house with guest quarters.

Our studio and store for Ozma is located within an industrial warehouse in Frogtown, Los Angeles—the first space ever created for the fashion brand. The space contains Ozma’s design office, storage facility, and public-facing retail, and the brand’s ethos of environmentally conscious sourcing informed our concept.

Two simple work tables with a rack of samples on one side face a long rack of finished pieces on the opposite wall, creating an intentional dialogue between design process and finished product. Large stacked timbers provide display surfaces, and custom upholstered pieces offer seating and separation between the two functions.

Pacific Street Townhouse is a 25-foot-wide Greek Revival home in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, completed in collaboration with the tastemaker Athena Calderone. The home’s extra-wide dimensions provided a unique opportunity for an L-shaped kitchen with an enclosed terrace and a built-in writing desk.

Exquisite stone in the kitchen is complemented by unexpected art pieces. Dramatic dark blue plaster walls in the library and an eclectic mix of one-of-a-kind vintage objects result in a home that is truly original.

We collaborated with Commune Design to create a New York City pied-à-terre for a California-based family. Park Avenue Apartment is a classic duplex designed by the prominent architect J.E.R. Carpenter in 1927, and the rooms retained great proportions and some original details.

Our goal was to peel back later changes to reveal the original bones, then enhance them with sensitively designed details that harmonized with the existing features. A new opening connects the kitchen to the dining room, and the kitchen was carefully planned to eliminate asymmetrical and awkward corners.

The Park Slope Townhouse is a relatively narrow, 17-foot-wide home in Brooklyn’s Park Slope Historic District. The house was completely overhauled with new systems, windows, and finishes, and a large steel and glass window and door assembly was installed at the rear.

Historic details and hardware were preserved and juxtaposed with modern elements. Striking black accents and brass hardware are highlighted by a mostly white palette, with the overall aim of lightening the interior to create a comfortable home for a family of three.

The Prospect Heights Townhouse is a 20-foot-wide duplex in a Federal-style house in Brooklyn. The project consisted of a gut renovation with all new systems. At the rear of the open parlor level, the kitchen is detailed with oak chevron flooring, freestanding cabinets, and a recessed marble backsplash. A large custom steel and glass wall connects the living level to the garden, and the minimal living room is highlighted by an off-white tadelakt fireplace.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are on a completely reconfigured garden level. The primary suite features steel doors connecting bedroom and bath to the garden, with gray tadelakt walls and unlacquered brass fixtures. The children’s bathroom includes a custom white oak vanity and vibrant blue patterned concrete tiles.

The Prospect Park West Townhouse is a grand five-story sandstone townhouse overlooking Prospect Park in historic Park Slope, owned by the same family for a century prior to the renovation.

We were commissioned to oversee interior design in collaboration with Made Architecture. We brought the historic building to life using furniture, decorative lighting, stone and tile flooring, colorful paint, and other accessories. The strategic infusion of modern wallpaper, casual rugs, and graphic patterns creates a vibrant home.

Rachel Comey’s flagship store occupies a former mechanic’s garage in Manhattan’s SoHo. The existing shell was retained and refinished to enhance the wood joists and large central skylights.

Custom finishes include board-formed concrete walls, a poured concrete terrazzo floor with hand-placed marble chip aggregate, bent brushed brass clothing racks, and a large shoe display made from concrete and locally collected beach stones combined with pumice from the designer’s denim stonewashing facility. All exterior hardware and signage were custom made in brass.

The Rachel Comey store in Los Angeles is located on Melrose Place in West Hollywood. We removed all interior finishes to seamlessly connect the three buildings that make up the store, leveling floor elevations, exposing wood joists, and sandblasting decades of paint to reveal the warm, aged wood throughout.

Corrugated metal, lacquered fixtures, a custom brick table, and terra cotta–colored cement floors provide the backdrop for unique furniture and Rachel’s collection. Custom skylights provide natural light above the shoe display and create architectural dressing rooms with flattering natural light.

The Roscoe Mountain House is a ground-up home in the Catskills hamlet of Roscoe. The house’s layout and palette were informed by the surrounding landscape and by 19th century stone walls that terrace the property, integrating these remnants of the region’s farming history into a deeply site-specific design.

Two interlinking volumes build off the existing stone walls, orienting the house toward surrounding views through floor-to-ceiling glazing. The upper level is designed for entertaining, with an open kitchen, living, and dining area overlooking the adjacent lake, and a landscaped roof that conceals the lower volume below. A stone staircase descends to this second volume, tucked into the hillside—home to quiet bedrooms and workspaces rendered in concrete and oriented toward the surrounding valley and gorge.

Rye Colonial Revival is a three-story home originally built in the early 1900s on the grounds of a historic country club. We reimagined and reorganized the house to create an informal, light-filled home for a family of six, prioritizing a new central kitchen and rethinking circulation with a stair from the family entrance through to the upper floors.

We relocated the kitchen to a former dining room to accommodate a large eat-in space with a cooking fireplace and generous island. We also created a double-height conservatory by removing a second-floor guest bedroom to open a two-story space overlooking the garden and pool. The exterior was fully restored and all building systems were replaced.

Our South Salem house is located on a large piece of land abutting preserved wetlands in Northern Westchester County, about 50 miles north of New York City. Originally built as a one-room cabin in 1725 and added to over the years, we reconsidered the site plan and overall organization by locating a pool beside an existing barn, rebuilding rooflines, and adding a new light-filled kitchen.

Our interventions carefully preserved historical features—including 200-year-old wood beams and a sleeping porch turned shower room—while contrasting them with modern finishes, furnishings, and amenities. The house is now filled with warm colors and rich wood floors, transformed into a comfortable family estate.

The Strong Place Townhouse is located in Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill Historic District. Original Neo-Grec details were retained and intentionally mixed with historical elements imported from India, the client’s cultural origin. Mahogany handrails and rustic wood shutters were preserved to contrast with antique doors from a Rajasthani haveli installed on the parlor level.

Large glass doors and a kitchen skylight on the two-story garden-side addition provide ample natural light. The top of the addition serves as a private terrace off the primary bedroom, and a large garden-level room provides a casual space for music, reading, and entertainment. Furnishings and finishes were selected to backdrop the clients’ collection of Indian art and celebrate a growing family’s varied cultural background.

We refinished and refurnished this Cobble Hill townhouse for a young family of five in an effort to balance the clients' playful sensibility with the existing formal architecture. The furnishing schemes balance contemporary and vintage pieces with layered textures, colors, and patterns. We introduced new finishes including paint, tile, decorative hardware, and wallpaper, and reimagined millwork throughout.

The Tribeca Loft is a penthouse apartment in Lower Manhattan, gut-renovated for a family. The Scandinavian-designed kitchen pairs a solid wood island with dark cabinetry, aged brass fixtures, and PH pendant lights. Reeded oak millwork carries through the entry, bar, and bathrooms — including a floating vanity with finger-joint detailing — lending warmth and material consistency throughout.

Large steel-framed windows fill the space with light, and doors open onto a generous wrap-around balcony planted with greenery and furnished for outdoor dining.

The Ulla Johnson store is located on a landmarked block of Bleecker Street in the NoHo Historic District. We used residential proportions to create a space that would feel familiar and comfortable, breaking the long, narrow storefront into front and rear “parlors” connected by a decorative pass-through with a green marble floor that continues from the base wrapping the store’s perimeter.

High ceilings were emphasized with exaggerated tall mirrors and soft coved crowns, and the appearance of taller windows was created by building new frames with artificial light behind window coverings. The oval custom sales desk is composed of oak dowels wrapped in Danish cord, with brass caps visible through the glass countertop where jewelry is displayed. The historic copper storefront was polished and left to patina for 24 hours before being sealed to capture the perfect complementary color.

The Ulla Johnson Amagansett boutique is located in Amagansett Square, a lush neighborhood park surrounded by shops, cafes, and restaurants. We were hired to create a second store after the successful completion of the Ulla Johnson flagship in Manhattan.

The venue occupies a modest cottage-like structure that was formerly a surf shop. We divided the large open space into two rooms and created spacious dressing rooms, directly referencing the materials and successful layout of the previously designed flagship.

The Union Square Loft is located in an irregularly shaped building with almost no right angles. The loft had not been renovated in over 30 years, and we were asked to completely reimagine the space and all its finishes.

The private bedroom is located along the long wall of windows, while a semi-private bedroom is accessible up a small staircase and behind a large custom bookshelf. The kitchen is treated as an extension of the living space with custom millwork and a graphic Calacatta Viola backsplash with integrated burners.

For this 20-foot-wide brownstone on Union Street, we highlighted original details while adding elements that expressed the clients’ interest in playful, unique, and casual spaces. The preserved staircase is a statement piece, as are new plaster crown moldings and a fireplace mantle. Unusually, garden access is via the garden-level family room, freeing the rear kitchen wall for a perfectly centered sink with views to the garden below.

This clean, white kitchen features Paonazzo marble countertops, unlacquered brass fixtures, and a custom metal hood. The home’s mansard roof resulted in a striking shower design and unique window details in the top-floor primary bath, which also showcases furniture-like millwork and a preserved, relocated fireplace mantle.

The Upper West Side Townhouse is a comprehensive renovation of a landmarked late-19th century residence in Manhattan. Prior alterations had obscured the building’s original proportions and circulation. A new custom white oak stair connects the home vertically, and historic details were repaired where possible, with new interventions that are simple and material-driven.

A consistent palette of fumed white oak, stone, plaster, and painted millwork provides continuity throughout. The kitchen and dining level is anchored by French limestone floors and a brick cooking hearth, while the family rooms above feature Venetian plaster, a custom Carrara marble mantel, and a cork-lined library. Interiors were developed in collaboration with Leonora Hamill Studio, with landscape design by Grace Fuller Design.

Waikiki Aqua Oasis is the repositioning of an aging 98-key Honolulu hotel through a comprehensive masterplan and interior renovation. Rather than rebuilding, the project works within the existing structure to clarify circulation, update guest accommodations, and introduce a cohesive material and color strategy throughout the property. Indoor and outdoor areas, from poolside lounges to private guest rooms, were redesigned alongside updates to common areas, signage, and branding to create a continuity of experience across the campus.

The Warren Mews Townhouse is a three-story, 11-foot-wide single-family house with a private garden and writer’s cottage in Cobble Hill.

The house was selectively gutted and completely transformed to create a sophisticated home for a young couple and their growing family. Herringbone floors, exposed beams, and strategically placed dark blues and grays give the home an informal but luxurious feel.

The Warren Mews Townhouse 2 is a three-story, 11-foot-wide single-family home.

The house was selectively gutted and completely transformed to create a restful pied-à-terre for a West Coast professional who regularly travels to New York City. The house features one bedroom and a luxurious bath on the top floor, while the lower levels are designed for solo living as well as entertaining.

The Washington, Connecticut Farmhouse was a restoration of a historic colonial-era farmhouse built in 1783, sensitively enlarged around 1900 by the noted architect Richard Dana. The building was completely taken apart down to its post-and-beam oak structure, then carefully reassembled to incorporate energy-efficient systems, windows, and insulation. The interior plan was modified for more flexible living space while retaining quirky features such as three existing staircases.

A modestly scaled addition houses a new kitchen. The original massive brick chimney was restored to working condition, including a wood-fired beehive oven in the great room. We retained original wood floors, doors, hardware, paneling, and trim, and added new details to harmonize with the old. The interiors layer antiques collected by the owners with new and vintage furniture we sourced.

The West 11th Street Townhouse was originally built in 1842 and converted into a multi-family home before we were hired to restore it for a family of four. The project was a complete renovation, including all new mechanicals, windows, and reinforced structure throughout.

We reimagined the organization to create an open parlor level for entertaining, a family room and guest room on the garden level, and two floors of bedrooms above. A north-facing skylight, originally added during the 1960s when Greenwich Village was home to many artists, creates a light-filled, loft-like bedroom at the top of the home.

This 22-foot-wide townhouse in the West Village dates back to 1837. Over 180 years it had been divided into apartments and lost many original details to unsympathetic renovations. The clients brought us in to restore the home for their young family, with the brief to open up and modernize the plan, bring in natural light, and enhance the historic character that had made the property so appealing.

After stabilizing the structure, we fully restored the façades and interior, recreating the original stair and elaborate Greek Revival plaster moldings based on surviving fragments and precedent research. The antique fumed oak floor provides a warm foundation for a quiet palette of materials throughout.

The Williamsburg Loft is a 3,500 SF live/work space for a married couple—a chef and food writer and a sculptor. They found the large ground-floor space after years of searching for an industrial venue they could transform into a comfortable home with workspaces for both disciplines.

Approximately half the space is a sculpture studio, while the other half includes a spacious chef’s kitchen for TV productions and events and an office off the kitchen for writing and cooking-related work. Monumental 10-by-15-foot sliding partitions open or close the workspaces from the living areas, creating a flexible balance between life and work.

The Windham Mountain House is a new construction home overlooking the Catskill Mountains, featuring two gable structures connected by a below-grade passageway. The public volume contains entertaining spaces organized around twin fireplaces and a central kitchen, entered through a walk-through storage room for skis, boots, and coats. Unobstructed views create a sense of floating over the mountain.

The site’s steep topography required the foundation to be tied directly into the rock ledge below. Prefabricated wood trusses create vaulted ceilings that maximize views and form a loft space above the main living area. A limited palette of materials speaks to the area’s vernacular agrarian building traditions, and high-performance systems create an efficient, durable home.
