SHELTER ISLAND RESIDENCE
A new construction house project for a city dweller's vacation home.
Oak paneled ceilings and cypress floors/millwork are complemented by unique vintage lighting and carpets. Custom upholstery and furniture includes: dining room banquette, oak framed beds with built in nightstands, and a built in sectional for the "north room" just off the primary suite.
Carefully selected fabrics with earthy color schemes bring the outdoor marine environment inside all year round.

CHELSEA OFFICE
A fast growing digital start-up upgraded to this open office concept. Glass partitions were used to carve out meeting areas while maintaining the three exposures of sunlight.
A bar height meeting table and lounge area was requested to promote employees to work away from their desks and as an area to entertain the company’s weekly “beer reviews.”
Phone booths feature a fully upholstered wall to provide much needed acoustics for the sales team’s phone calls.
The color scheme throughout reflects the brand’s identity with some neutral tones to feature the oak floors and warm brick wall.
