We are thrilled to share moments of reflection from 2021 as we welcome an inspired engagement with our projects and treasured clients in 2022.
Elevations and materials palette for the Cabana in our Naples Penthouse
This 15,000 sq. ft. penthouse is our second residence for this Client, and required complete architectural and interior renovation on a very aggressive time frame. We are extremely proud of our project team to have conceived, presented and realized this project in 2021; certainly mountains were moved given the challenges brought on by the global pandemic to complete this tremendous home. We look forward to sharing professional photography very soon!
This palette offers an in-progress view to our Captiva Island Residence
Our team continues to operate safely to produce fantastic projects across the country to include Manhattan, Hilton Head Island, Miami Beach, Captiva Island, Naples, Florida and a ski lodge in Vail, Colorado.
Our team photographed our Client’s extraordinary and gracious Owner’s Suite within Manhattan’s historic St. Regis hotel this past summer, with Nick Knight’s photograph “Black Kate” (2008) making a statement at the entry. [Photography: Richard Powers.]
We were also delighted to work with the amazing talents of photographer Eric Piasecki and Anita Sarsidi to capture so many newly complete projects in 2021 across the country, and to share another fantastic photoshoot with Katrina Wittkamp in our Chicago Studio!
This contemporary private Manhattan residence is the combination of 7 units across the 5th Avenue frontage of the St. Regis Hotel, and is featured in Galerie Magazine.
We were thrilled to have our art-filled St. Regis Owner’s Suite featured in Galerie Magazine with a wonderful interview with Jill Sieracki. We are also so excited to share that our Lincoln Park Contemporary project was honored in the Andrew Martin Interior Design Review (Volume 25), and graces the cover of Antiques & Fine Art Magazine January 2022 issue.
We were able to commission and install this wonderful pair of monumental sculpted sliding doors in charcoal walnut by Caleb Woodard. Here, an image from Caleb’s studio with his wonderful daughter for scale!
“A truly wonderful experience working with Suzanne, Kristin and the rest of the team. I cannot speak highly enough of them and their support of artists.” – Caleb Woodard
Joseph Walsh’s Erosion Sculptural cabinet in bleached and burr olive ash as a special commission for our Client and treasured Joseph Walsh patron, ready for installation in early 2022.
We shared a lovely visit to Joseph Walsh’s studio in Cork, Ireland with the Client, and look forward to attending his ‘Making In’ symposium in Ireland in September of 2022.
