Featured in Rue Magazine Summer 2025 and World of Interiors June 2026, this home was envisioned as an emotional journey through nostalgia, turmoil, tension, and joy—portraying humanity in all its facets.

Our first priority in the kitchen was to reorient the space toward the rolling green hills beyond. The cabinetry, painted Broccoli Brown by Farrow & Ball, immediately grounded the room. Its description as “reserved and comforting” evoked moss along a river, sunlight through the trees, and the feeling of returning to childhood. That memory became the foundation for the home. Honed Statuario marble, custom Roman shades, and our Nara Scallop shelves—wrought iron and glass designed by our studio—add texture and character.

The dining room continues the story through nostalgia. A dark-stained oak table recalls childhood visits to castles in Romania, while a vintage rug and relaxed slipcovered banquette create an inviting place to linger.

In the formal sitting room, we explored tension and joy—the exhilaration that comes from moving through something difficult. The narrow proportions, asymmetrical fireplace, and half wall presented a challenge, so we remodeled the fireplace to quiet the architecture and allow the room's furnishings to take focus. Custom drapery, a chestnut sofa, Murano glass, vintage artwork, and our custom Luca table bring warmth and movement. A quirky vintage hutch adds a bit of unexpected charm, now holding our favorite bottles of wine. We’ve even convinced our nieces and nephew that it leads to Narnia.

The entertainment room and powder bath embrace turmoil through moody limewash inspired by the atmosphere of a thunderstorm. An oversized sofa anchors the entertainment room, while a vintage glass pendant in the powder bath casts rainbows across the dark walls—a quiet glimpse of hope.

In the entry, a 17th-century tapestry takes center stage above a vintage marble and iron table. Vintage stair runners and our custom hand-forged Nara handrails carry the design language throughout the home.

The result is a home shaped by memory, emotion, and the unexpected—a space that feels deeply personal, layered, and alive.
