Flatiron Apartment
This apartment is located in a converted office tower in New York’s Flatiron District, overlooking Madison Square Park. While the residence did not require a gut renovation, strategic changes included replacing the entry’s heavily veined marble with a more tranquil limestone, staining the floors dark ebony, implementing a well-thought-out lighting plan and painting the walls a warmer vanilla colour. The homeowners’ scholarly collection of art – including Helen Frankenthaler, Yayoi Kusama, and Anish Kapoor – was complemented by a thoughtfully curated collection of one-of-a-kind pieces. This includes vintage pieces by Fornasetti and Philip & Kelvin Laverne, as well as stunning dandelion light fixtures by Studio Drift.
California Coastal
The many precedents of beautiful local Spanish architecture became the source of inspiration for this California waterfront property. Working with a team of talented local craftspeople, we reworked the entire house for a better flow of rooms and ample guest space, adding arches, wood beams and wrought-iron details, as well as a glazed rear fa?ade. Everything had to be approachable; we wanted to evoke a feeling that was more collected than decorated, electing to accomplish this with a cross-cultural assemblage of furniture, textural fabrics and one-of-a-kind accessories, including some outstanding vintage pieces from the sixties and seventies. This home is all about beach life and it’s meant to be welcoming to bare feet and bathing suits.
Pacific Heights Residence
This jewel of a house is circa 1908 and has wonderful bones and fabulous views of the bay. We handled all of the interior architecture – reconfiguring rooms, improving the flow, creating sightlines, adding skylights to capture and maximize the daylight. The house has a traditional bent, but with opening up to the other rooms, we were able to bring it to a more casual and contemporary way of living. Incorporating something old and beautiful into a room transforms it in a subtle way and gives a welcomed tension between the old and new. The key to great design is capturing the spirit of the client and the essence of the space.
