This project involved a client’s stately manor home which required interior and exterior renovation, as well as interior/exterior design work and outdoor space creation. The goal was to design an environment in which to house the client’s vast art and antiques collection, as well as provide spaces in which to entertain, while preserving it's important 1913 details.  Firstly, the house had to be structurally secured as it was sinking in to the ground. Starting with massive steel girders in the basement, the house was leveled and preserved.  In addition to all-new mechanical systems,  cracks in the interior plaster walls were repaired, bathrooms renovated, the existing kitchen gutted and an all-new master bedroom suite created out of the former servants’ quarters.  The grounds were completely cleared, sparing some wonderful old trees and the hardscapes and landscape was redesigned to celebrate the owners heritage, including over 600 boxwood, forming parterres akin to the town squares of his native Savannah.  The results were extraordinary!

This beautiful property, featured in Elle Decor, dates back to the late 1800's.   Originally built for a Thai prince’s eldest son and currently owned by said Prince's descendants, this home is a true bachelor pad.  When our client took possession of the house, there were rooms that were not accessible without going outdoors and the grand sala (living room) was exposed on 3 sides.  We wanted to preserve the concept of being outside in the sala and walking outoors from room to room without the inconvenience of being subjected to inclimate weather.  We addressed by enclosing the sala in glass and carefully designing unobtrusive glass enclosures to connect the house to its extended rooms.  For the interiors, we procured fine antiques from Southeast Asia to honor the home’s heritage and thoughtfully chose complimentary sofas and arm chairs for comfort.   The result was a preserved royal retreat outfitted for a king.

When this 8500 square foot townhouse was purchased in Savannah's magnificent historic district, the owners immediately wanted to give it a new lease on life.  The property had been previously divided into 5 units with a two-story carriage house, purposed as apartment rentals.  The property is now intended to be luxurious boutique vacation rentals, including an owner’s suite.  Our firm provided the owners with design layouts for each unit, including furnishings and fixtures.  Renovations of all 5 units are in various stages of completion, along with a re-designed courtyard.   Our design plans are reinventing this striking house into an exquisite boutique property while maintaining the original charm and character from 1850.

  Featured in Décor Magazine, this circa 1870 brownstone, perched just off the banks of the St. Lawrence River once housed laborers for Montreals ship building industry.  Far from it's then roots, this home is now an exquisite pied-a-terre that would make any Parisian feel fashionably at home. 

When our very active clients purchased this property it was filled with light and an informality where they knew their family could feel truly at home. With the use of comfortable performance fabrics and colors that would compliment their extensive modern art collection, we aimed to imbibe that casual feeling they requested.  But not in every space ....the owners gave us free reign to broker some substantial and important mid century pieces for a gentlemen's lounge and master suite, where the adults could cloister themselves away from the hub of the house.
