Haldon House

Posted on Tue, 25 Mar 2025 by KiM

Interior design firm Haldon House is based in Philadelphia and was founded by Autumn Oser and Andre Golsorkhi. Haldon House has cultivated a distinct aesthetic that defies simple definition, yet remains instantly recognizable. Known for masterfully balancing masculine and feminine elements, we design homes that are rich, soulful, and impossible to pin to a specific era – a testament to their enduring and sophisticated design ethos. Every project is approached in a thoughtful and personalized way to create an intentional design that evokes a mood and feels iconically timeless. Haldon House’s careful curation of unexpected materials and objects with artful touches puts the work in an eclectic category all its own. We achieve a timeless sophistication that defines our aesthetic. The end result is an environment that is warm, alluring, layered, and truly iconic.
Timeless sophistication this absolutely is – and I’d throw moody and classic in there as well. It’s as if these spaces have been there for years and will be there for years to come. I am completely obsessed with that deep red scullery and the dining banquette nook that looks like a corner in the cutest British pub. Photos: Jason Varney.

Knotty pine is fine

There I said it. Actually, knotty pine is not just fine it’s fabulous. Take an interesting 70s home, play to its strengths and celebrate the wooden interiors. Add only touches of black and white, streamline the furnishings and BAM! you have a stylish country getaway without bringing out the can of white paint. Belleayre A-Frame in Highmont, NY by BHDM.

With offices in California and Massachusetts, Katie Martinez Design respects a space’s history and architecture while incorporating timeless design elements. For the 1740 Ripley Residence, the firm led a full renovation and expansion, collaborating with the owners to introduce rich layers of colour and pattern. They sourced primarily vintage and handcrafted pieces and designed the cabinetry, bathrooms and finishes with thoughtful attention to detail.

The Washington, Connecticut Farmhouse, built in 1783, underwent a meticulous restoration to preserve its historic character. Carefully dismantled and reassembled, the structure was updated with energy-efficient systems while maintaining original features like three staircases and reclaimed oak floors. A modest kitchen addition complemented the historic design, while the restored brick chimney and period details created a warm, layered interior blending antiques with vintage and contemporary furnishings.

A home of light, texture and flow

This three-storey home blends seamlessly with its coastal surroundings, offering breathtaking ocean and greenery views. Inspired by palm fronds, its design balances curves and straight lines creating dynamic light and shadow. Organic interiors feature fluted travertine, timber, rattan, marble and seagrass wallpaper. A clear sightline enhances flow, while expansive glazing connects indoor and outdoor spaces. Earthy tones and handcrafted furniture add warmth, complemented by layered rugs and decorative lighting, resulting in a richly textured, inviting and stylish living environment.
