A sense of place

Posted on Thu, 30 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

“This TriBeCa, New York, gut renovation project—connecting two full-floor lofts—included piercing the floor of the upper unit and adding a grand plaster clad staircase. David and the team celebrated the history of the c. 1900 warehouse building by retaining the loft-like elements while enhancing them with modern interventions and a warm, comfortable aesthetic.”

Rooted in Southern heritage and refined in New York City, David Frazier’s work blends architectural precision with timeless warmth. Through his namesake studio, he crafts interiors that honour place and personality alike, spaces defined by considered detail, quiet elegance, and a deep understanding of how people live.

Designed for a vibrant, adventurous family who fully embraced our process and creative direction, this new construction home reflects the ease and synergy of a dream collaboration. We crafted a layered aesthetic—balancing moody tones with light-filled rooms to create a sense of rhythm and contrast throughout. Unexpected pattern pairings and nuanced color play give the home its distinctive personality and depth.

Heritage reimagined

In the heart of Park Slope, Lyons Studio redesigned a historic brownstone, balancing tradition with modernity. The updated layout enhances flow and function, while bespoke millwork and layered materials bring depth and warmth. Classic detailing is carefully interpreted through a contemporary lens, preserving the home’s heritage while accommodating modern living, an expression of Lyons Studio’s refined, practical and joyfully sophisticated design approach.

A coastal composition

Posted on Tue, 28 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

Set on a prime harborfront site, this 1990s Nantucket residence has been reimagined by Workshop/APD as a forever home. The design unifies its original gabled form with a refined, contemporary sensibility, anchored by a sculptural staircase in textured plaster and dark-stained wood. Reclaimed timber, wire-brushed oak, striated stone and steel paneling lend depth and tactility. True to the Workshop/APD aesthetic the home embodies an artful, unmistakable expression of modern Nantucket living.

According to a House Beautiful feature on this Toronto home, designer Ali Budd was given carte blanche on decorating the main floor and second-floor primary suite but the homeowners insisted she include a bubble gum-pink range they had purchased. And shades of pink became a reoccurring feature in most of the spaces – a saturated mauve-drenched living room, a powder room with a pink quartzite-clad vanity, a butler’s pantry in Gucci pink floral wallpaper, a blush tone rug in the primary suite…. I love it! Photos: Lauren Miller.
