INTERIOR SPACE PLANNING & DESIGN

We design homes as narrative environments
where architecture, materials, light, and landscape shape how people actually live.

Our design practice is rooted in craft, material intelligence, and human experience. We approach every project from the inside out—studying how a space is used across seasons and time of day, how light moves through rooms, how privacy and sound are managed, and how architecture and landscape work as one continuous environment. Our work spans full-cycle residential projects—from early architectural and zoning strategy through material sourcing and interior design—guided by restraint, authenticity, and a deep respect for natural materials that age beautifully and tell a story over time.

Origins in craft
Our approach began in a family-run window-treatment manufacturing studio in Seattle—pinning drapery panels on factory tables and learning how fabric, proportion, repetition, and light behave in real space. Paging through Architectural Digest and sketching floor plans shaped our earliest understanding of interiors as lived experience.

Formal training
That instinct became formal study at Parsons School of Design, focused on interior space planning.

Material-led design
In 2000, our foundation deepened while working on the New York City townhouse of restaurateur Keith McNally—sourcing reclaimed doors, beams, lighting, tile, furnishings, and architectural fragments across the U.S. and Europe. The work was never about decoration. It was about building narrative through material.

Residential work
Our projects include two gut renovations in Greenwich Village, two custom kitchens in Park Slope, and a new home currently under design and construction in The Hamptons.

Full-cycle builds
The Hamptons project spans the entire life cycle of a home—from architectural and landscape strategy through zoning, permitting, and historic review. We work directly with architects, landscape architects, land planners, and legal teams while leading architectural and interior design direction and all material sourcing.

How we design
We design for how a home actually lives—what the windows look onto, how light moves through rooms, how privacy and sound are managed, how landscape extends architecture, and how a house performs across seasons. We also consider planting for year-round interest and environmental systems such as sound attenuation and geothermal heating and hot water.

Our point of view
Across every project, our work is grounded in restraint and material honesty—prioritizing color, texture, and natural materials. Nothing synthetic. Nothing decorative for its own sake. Only materials that weather, patinate, and carry story over time.

Design, for us, is storytelling made physical.

PRODUCT PACKAGING & GRAPHIC DESIGN

Our design practice also extends to physical products and packaging—where brand, material, and form intersect. This work grew out of our hospitality and retail projects, and focuses on how objects are held, opened, displayed, and lived with—bringing the same material sensitivity and narrative thinking from our interiors into product design.
