You may have questions about scope, process, working together, materials, or fit. Here are some we hear most often.
We work on projects of all sizes, from a single room or custom piece to full interior renovations. While many focus on bespoke kitchens, bathrooms, and custom cabinetry, we often take on whole-home renovations when a consistent design across spaces matters. Our projects include apartments and townhouses throughout New York City.
New York homes come in all shapes and ages, from pre-war apartments to newer condominiums and townhouses. We look closely at the character of each space and how you live in it. That means thoughtful layouts, careful material choices, and design decisions that work for both the architecture and your daily life. The aim is always to create spaces that feel practical, functional, and quietly personal.
For us, bespoke means more than just made to measure. It’s a way of working where every layout, detail, and material choice is carefully tailored to the space and how you’ll live in it. We focus on craftsmanship over trends, and we take the time needed to get things right. The result is a home that feels thoughtful, balanced, and truly your own.
Most of our cabinetry is fully bespoke, designed and made to fit your space perfectly. But when a semi-custom option makes sense and supports the overall design, we include it, always keeping proportion, fit, and durability front and center.
Yes, we do take on projects outside the city, usually kitchens, bathrooms, or smaller renovations where our architectural approach can really make a difference. If you’re outside NYC, just get in touch. We’d love to hear about your project and see how we might help.
We begin with a conversation to understand what you need and see if we’re the right fit. Then we visit your space, take careful measurements, and start working on the design: from layout, fixtures, and materials to lighting and the smaller details. We stay involved every step of the way, through fabrication and construction, making sure the final result matches the vision.
Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the project. Most bespoke kitchens and bathrooms take around three to six months from design through completion, but that can vary based on your needs. Full renovations usually require more time for planning and coordination. We’ll set clear and realistic expectations early so you always know what to expect and the process stays on track.
Yes, we do. We understand what boards require and carefully prepare all the necessary information for your project. Our goal is to keep the process clear and straightforward, helping things move along as smoothly as possible.
Yes, when Department of Buildings filings are needed, we work closely with the appropriate professionals to manage that part of the process. While we don’t submit permits ourselves, we handle all the design and prepare the necessary documentation to support the filings.
Getting started is easy. Use our contact form to share a brief description of your project, whether it’s a single piece, a room, or a full renovation. We’ll schedule a time to discuss your goals, the space, and your timeline. From there, we’ll outline the next steps, which usually include a site visit, an overview of how we work, and a deeper conversation about your needs and priorities. We want this first phase to feel clear and welcoming so you feel confident as we move forward together.
You’ll work with a close-knit team including our studio, a general contractor, and sometimes an architect when Department of Buildings (DOB) filings are involved. We stay closely involved with design details and coordinate everything to ensure smooth communication from start to finish.
Whether you’ll need an architect depends on the project. Many kitchens and bathrooms in New York City require filings with the Department of Buildings (DOB), which typically involves working with an architect solely to handle those filing requirements. When that happens, we manage the design and coordinate with the architect to ensure the process goes smoothly. Either way, our studio leads the project from start to finish..
We work with makers and suppliers who meet our high standards for durability and craftsmanship. From cabinetry to hardware, stone, and tile, we select materials that fit your project and stand the test of time. As part of our collaboration, we help you navigate selections, balancing how things work, how they feel, and how they look, so every detail contributes to your unique design.
We keep your project on track by setting clear milestones aligned with your goals and maintaining regular communication, whether on-site, remotely, or both. We work closely with contractors known for their care and attention to detail to ensure everyone stays aligned. If any plans or steps need adjusting, we handle them calmly and promptly, keeping you informed throughout.
Our cabinetry is made by expert workshops in New York and New England. For certain projects, we work with English makers whose craft carries a long tradition. Every piece is designed for your space, from the dimensions and materials to the finishes and internal fittings.
We choose materials for their beauty, durability and suitability to the project, but also for their texture and how they develop character over time. From richly grained woods and natural stone to handcrafted tiles and aged hardware, we source from makers and workshops in the US, England, and Europe. Each material is chosen to add depth, lasting quality, and warmth to your home.
Yes, we focus on responsibly sourced materials, especially natural ones. This means using wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, low-VOC paints and adhesives, and finishes that wear beautifully over time. We’re also happy to include recycled or vintage materials when they suit the project. To us, sustainability is about choosing things that last and contribute to a healthier, more thoughtful home.
We typically charge a flat fee for the design work. Project management is billed hourly and invoiced regularly, with clear milestones so you always know where things stand. Costs for construction, materials, and suppliers are handled separately by the general contractor. We keep everything transparent and straightforward to avoid surprises.
If you value a thoughtful, architectural approach that prioritizes layout, function, materials, and craftsmanship, we’re likely a good match. We focus on creating spaces that work beautifully for everyday living and feel quietly exceptional. The best way to find out is to have a conversation—we’re happy to listen and explore what you need.
We start with your lifestyle and the architecture, not a set style or trend. Some projects lean traditional, others are more contemporary, but all focus on careful proportion, material choices, and purpose. If you’re unsure of your style, that’s absolutely fine. Part of what we do is help you discover what feels right and will work for the long run.
Whenever you’re ready. Getting in touch early means we can help shape your vision, align timelines, and bring together the right team to make it happen smoothly.
Yes, and we welcome them. Even compact spaces can benefit from considered design. What matters most is creating a space that feels cohesive, enduring, and genuinely well‑crafted.
We take on a limited number of projects each year. Let’s find out if yours is one of them.
