Our clients purchased a beautiful family home on a dream lot in High Park and came to us to furnish it from top to bottom and renovate key areas. The completed space is a true celebration of furniture and decor as functional art and represents collaborations with artists around the world. The artist’s hand is seen in the subtle imperfections – from the rough edges of the powder room stained glass mirror, to the uneven surface of the ceramic shades on the entry sconces, to the bunching of fabric on each roll of the chaise lounge. These imperfections bring life to the pieces and are what makes the space feel so storied – because there are genuine stories. The result feels timeless, yet fresh. Highly curated, yet effortless.
Art this really is. Those rust coloured velvet sofas are giving me heart palpitations (I’m currently on the hunt for a new sofa…on that note if anyone local wants to buy my Freeform sofa hit me up!). Designed by Clare Forndran and Danielle De Francesco of Forward Interiors. Photos: Lauren Miller.

Merging modern furnishings with classic architectural elements, this home exudes bold color, luxurious textures, and antique fixtures, creating a haven of immense comfort and artistic delight at every turn.

Located in Jersey City’s historic Van Vorst Park, Barrow Street Townhome is a beautifully restored 1850s Victorian brownstone by And Studio. The design celebrates original architectural details … stained glass windows, crown moldings and a grand staircase… while layering modern function and warmth. Inspired by London townhouses, And Studio introduced natural oak herringbone floors, diamond plaster walls, and a classically English kitchen with handcrafted Shaker cabinetry. Thoughtful details, from William Morris wallpaper to unfinished brass fixtures and an antique stone basin, create a timeless dialogue between heritage and contemporary living, preserving the home’s authenticity and enduring charm.

Another fabulous example of mixing old and new architecture and function. Architecture and design firm Bangia Agostinho were tasked with the renovation of this landmarked late 19th century Brooklyn townhouse. They reimagined the home for modern living while honoring the its original character. A previous remodel had erased much of its detail—bleached floors, painted-over mahogany woodwork, and lost ornamentation. The new design restores depth and craftsmanship through a rich material palette and custom cabinetry that balance historic detail with contemporary function. Much of the original mahogany woodwork was still intact and this, god bless them, was restored. Upgraded systems and thoughtfully integrated living and work spaces create a layered, refined home tailored to a young family. Photos: Pia Ulin.

Maison Ferndale by Studio Zung is a fresh take on fashion designer Ulla Johnson’s beloved family beach house. Set where land meets sea in Montauk, the home was reimagined to blend effortlessly with its lush surroundings and ocean views. Inside, every space, from the kitchen to the master suite, was redesigned for calm, connection and easy coastal living, capturing warmth, simplicity and an inviting sense of retreat.
