This project consisted of a full renovation of a prewar Co-Op apartment built in 1929 in New York City. The goal was to balance timeless architecture with contemporary furniture and accessories. We introduced new architecturall elements, like arched built-ins and panel moldings.
In the living room, the palette is intentionally monochromatic, allowing the veined marble fireplace to pop-up in the space. Seating is arranged to encourage conversation and connection, and every piece, from the vintage-inspired armchairs to the cocktail table, was chosen to complement the room’s architectural features without overpowering it.

This project consisted of the renovation of a Norman Jaffe-designed home located in Long Island, NY. We focused on bringing back the architect’s original design while thoughtfully complementing the interiors with custom furniture, lighting, and millwork. Collaborating closely with architectural, landscaping, and construction teams, we preserved mid-century modern elements, such as wood and stone, while introducing interior elements that seamlessly complement its character.
