FOLIO

A curated archive of rooms remade — each space a story told through light redirected and walls reconsidered.

Design Philosophy

Space is not background.

It is the argument.

Every room makes a claim about how life should be lived.

Most rooms are wrong.

The work is not decoration — it is diagnosis, then repair.

We begin with the brief. We end with something the client didn't know they needed.

That gap is where design actually lives.

The Gutted Brownstone

Brooklyn, New York · 2024

The Brief

A young couple bought a 1910 Carroll Gardens brownstone in structural distress. Every wall was load-bearing. The original floor plan had no concept of light.

The Constraint

The landmark designation meant the facade was untouchable. We had four months before a newborn arrived.

The Breakthrough

We punched a single light well through three floors — a vertical slash of sky that changed the thermal logic of the entire building.

"The light well wasn't a feature. It was the argument the house had been trying to make for 114 years."

The home now reads as a sequence of light events: morning in the kitchen, afternoon in the study, golden hour in the living room. 3,200 sq ft reimagined in 16 weeks.

The Tired Hotel

New Orleans, Louisiana · 2024

The Brief

A 28-room Garden District boutique hotel had been the same shade of taupe since 2003. The new owners had a vision but no language for it. They sent us a Pinterest board of contradictions.

The Constraint

Twenty-eight rooms, twelve room types, three different ceiling heights, one contractor who had opinions.

The Breakthrough

We stopped treating each room as a renovation and started treating the hotel as a single editorial spread. Every room became a chapter.

"We gave them a hotel that photographs like a novel and stays like a secret."

Occupancy went from 61% to 89% in the first post-rebrand quarter. Condé Nast Traveler listed it among the South's most interesting new stays.

You have a space. You have an instinct that it could be something else.

The Editorial Set

Silver Lake, Los Angeles · 2025

The Brief

A creative director needed a Silver Lake residence that could double as a shoot location — but couldn't look like either. It had to feel inhabited without being personal.

The Constraint

The home needed to be lived in Monday through Thursday, then reset for editorial shoots on weekends. Nothing could be fixed to walls.

The Breakthrough

We designed a system of weighted furniture and freestanding elements that could be rearranged in under two hours. The "palette" was actually a set of interchangeable textile collections.

"Flexible enough to become someone else's story. Specific enough to always feel like a place that actually happened."
