Interior renovation inside a historic 1893 factory storage facility in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood. The design honors the building’s industrial past by exposing original brick walls, wood columns, and ceiling beams.

This raw, natural palette complements the minimalist interiors, creating a warm, open space that celebrates the loft’s historical character. Large windows bathe the space in light, accentuating the textures of stripped brick and aged wood, blending historic authenticity with contemporary elegance for a unique living environment.

This Upper East Side Pied-à-Terre apartment embodies a serene, polished city retreat, emphasizing natural light, texture, and a minimalist aesthetic.

Designed with Alejandra Niveyro.

The design of this Loft merges historic charm with minimalist modernity.

Located in the former James McCreery & Co. Dry Goods department store, this expansive, open-plan layout highlights the loft's impressive 13-foot high ceilings, which enhance the feeling of space and openness. Large, arched cast iron windows, a nod to the building’s historical roots, flood the interior with natural light and offer views of the lively Greenwich Village.

The interior design is marked by a minimalist approach, featuring a neutral color palette of whites and dark grey to create a serene and uncluttered environment.

This residential project emphasizes modern, functional design while maintaining the original character of the space. The apartment features a thoughtful blend of materials and textures, with a focus on integrating contemporary elements seamlessly into the existing architecture. High-quality craftsmanship and custom details are highlighted, including bespoke furniture and finishes. The project reflects our commitment to creating spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical for everyday living.

This loft is located in Tribeca in a building built in 1893, originally used as a factory storage facility. Our goal was to maintain as much as possible the original spirit of the space, with its materiality, details and imperfections. And to lightly layer over it the functionalities needed for a young family. Using a rich palette of colors and materials allowed us to integrate the new work to the existing space. We wanted to make a space that could hide in the shadows and be subtly shaped by the light, to create depth revealed through chiaroscuro effect.

Gut renovation of loft in Brooklyn. The goal was to combine two apartments into a large loft. Keeping as much as possible the original detailing and materials of the former factory building and using crisp new walls to define clean volumes defining the private spaces (bedrooms and bathrooms). Simple details, tactile finishes and original details make this apartment the absolute New York Loft with a European twist.

Brownstone renovation in Carroll Gardens in Brooklyn. Although all the existing original details have been kept and restored, it is basically a gut renovation. The kitchen was relocated to the Parlor level to become the center of the house and connect directly with the living/dining room. A new balcony extension opens up the kitchen to the backyard through steel french doors. At the Garden level a new enlarge opening creates a new winter garden extending into the landscaped backyard. 

Built on the site of an old chocolate factory, Malabia 933 was designed to create a hidden oasis within a bustling metropolis.

The main building occupies only half the width of the lot, with the entire other half dedicated to large staggering balconies. In reality, these “balconies” are exterior living rooms because of their scale and privacy.

Further inside the lot, 2-storey live-work lofts are oriented around the interior courtyard.

Taking advantage of the climate of Buenos Aires, the facade is cladded with trellis grids and planters — so that eventually the building is covered in a wall of greenery.

In retrospect, the Malabia 933 building is a model for the urban future post Covid-19.

This building was awarded by the American Institute of Architects of New York with the AIA 2017 Housing Design Awards.

This is a thorough renovation of a loft space in the West Village. The 2200 sf space was completely gutted and redesigned with a contemporary feel. The living/dining/kitchen area which occupy half of the floor plan was designed with exposed brick walls and wood structure in an open plan layout to keep with the loft living concept. The rest of the apartment in the private quarters was designed with materials and colors unique to each rooms. Each rooms have extensive built in millwork for various storage needs to preserve the modern minimalist look.

Gut renovation of 1,200sf loft in Tribeca. A former gloomy two-bedroom apartment was converted into an airy and bright one-bedroom apartment with custom sliding steel partition, bathroom and walk-in closet. 

In this renovation of the house that was originally designed by and for Ezra Stoller, the clients wanted to bring back the original spirit of the Stoller House, while at the same time update it for modern living and a growing family. Research into archival photos and a detailed design process with involved clients brought forth a design that allowed the new owners to live in a place of their own, while still respecting the legacy of the Stoller House.

Gut renovation of a loft space in a historic cast iron building in Chinatown.

Completed in late 2010, this corner terrace house was demolished to the structural elements and extensively renovated. The entire bulk of the existing footprint was cladded with wood louvers to provide privacy, shading and to minimize the visual chaos of the existing structure. A back extension is marked by a solid form with round windows. The project also allows for large parts of the living area to be completely open to the elements to make full use of the year-round summer weather of Singapore.
