Studio Shamshiri’s Charles Street project in New York’s West Village was designed for a theater-loving client who wanted a home that felt both personal and expressive. Inspired by the neighborhood’s rich bohemian history, the team restored original 1866 details and added thoughtful, artistic layers throughout. Plaster ceiling reliefs, a sculptural bronze mirror and hand-painted murals bring depth and character to the space. The kitchen offers a quiet retreat opening to a peaceful garden. The home embraces a bold, bohemian spirit that resists today’s more muted design trends.
