When our clients, a stylish family with teenage children, decided to leave Manhattan for the country, they naturally gravitated to the Hudson Valley, where the husband is originally from. The wife, a prominent lifestyle journalist and editor known for her creative entertaining, immediately saw the potential in this unexpected property, although it is distinctly different from the Greek Revival farmhouses the area is known for. The house was originally a 1940s dairy building, part of a larger farm that was split off and sold in the 1960s. The rest of the renovation also honors the building’s origins and we maintained many of the original details, although it required a complete overhaul to transform what had been an agrarian, industrial compound replete with concrete floors and a warren-like layout, into a warm, light-filled residence. In addition to reconfiguring the floor plan to create a more natural flow throughout the interior spaces, we lifted roof lines and added a primary suite. Our client led the interior decoration, designing chic, flexible spaces that function well for daily family life and easily morph into rooms that suit her famed “the-more-the-merrier” dinner parties and cocktail gatherings. 
There’s a coziness, a don’t-take-your-shoes-off casualness to this home, but touches of elegance and grandeur as well that elevate it. By Schafer Buccellato Architects.


Old-World bachelor pad

Posted on Fri, 16 Feb 2024 by midcenturyjo

“This bachelor pad is full of texture and soul, most accurately described a shaving a handsome, global feel. Situated within a newly built modern apartment building, we added depth and paid homage to the client’s treasured Armenian heritage with plenty of Old-World furnishings and rich materials. A small but well-appointed living area that opens onto a lush outdoor space maximizes entertaining opportunities.”

The space may be small but the style is high. From small space dining and built in storage to bold colour and carefully curated personal touches, this apartment by Washington, D.C. based Zoë Feldman is a fresh take on masculine living.

What makes an interior special? The personal touches, the soul of the occupants shining through. Yes layout, functionality, materiality, colour palette are all important but it’s the way people choose to live in a space that should be reflected in a designer’s interiors.

A country club respite in Rhode Island

Posted on Mon, 30 Oct 2023 by KiM

A country club respite for our busy professional Bostonian clients. Much of the club’s exteriors reflect a quintessential New England shingle style architecture. The internals had succumbed to dated late 90s and early 2000s renovations of inexpensive materials void of craftsmanship. Our client’s aesthetic balances on the scales of hyper minimalism, clean surfaces, and void of visual clutter. Our palette of color, materiality & textures kept to this notion while generating movement through vintage lighting, comfortable upholstery, and Unique Forms of Art.
Sounds swanky at first but surprisingly not, though the clean, textured and neutral elegance of the space is exactly what you would expect from Moore House Design. Photos: Jared Kuzia.

This four-bedroom home seamlessly blends fun and functionality by preserving its heritage while embracing modern design. The transformation incorporates period detailing and fluting, uniting the past with contemporary living. Through a vibrant colour palette and collaboration with local artisans and international designers, the house exudes a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, creating a delightful living space.
