This was a full-scale renovation of a prewar Park Avenue co-op housed in a Georgian-style building originally designed by Emery Roth in 1916. The design brief for this dynamic young family was to interpret tradition through a fresh, spirited lens – classic with a playful edge. The interiors by designer Josh Greene strike a balance between contrast and harmony: light tones meet moody hues; modern silhouettes sit alongside antiques. Also, a tented dining room? Yes please!!!

Designer’s own

Posted on Mon, 30 Jun 2025 by midcenturyjo

Designer Tim Pfeiffer of Hoedemaker Pfeiffer has crafted his own Seattle condo into a deeply personal reflection of layered design and lived experience. This restored 1920s residence balances historical character with modern utility, creating a warm and masculine retreat. Rich textures—bronze, leather, oak, stone, linen, and wool—anchor the interiors, while an eclectic, open layout encourages ease and conversation. Each room showcases Pfeiffer’s instinct for contrast and craftsmanship, from handwoven wall coverings to sculptural furniture. The result is a soulful, evolving sanctuary where function and beauty are seamlessly intertwined.
