"A home that feels like a living piece of art — serene yet deeply personal."
A complete renovation of a pre-war Manhattan apartment. Working with the
existing bones, we layered warm materiality, custom millwork, and a restrained palette to create
something timeless.
We listen deeply to understand your life, aspirations, and how you
inhabit space. This foundation shapes everything.
02
Concept
A cohesive design direction emerges — mood boards, spatial concepts,
material palettes — refined in close collaboration with you.
03
Design
Detailed drawings, 3D visualisations, and procurement specifications
are developed to perfection before any work begins.
04
Realisation
We oversee every aspect of the build, ensuring the vision is executed
with precision, on schedule and on budget.

Our Story
A studio built on conviction
Founded in 2012 by Elena brand, our studio began with
a simple belief: that beautifully designed spaces profoundly improve how people live and work. Over
twelve years, we have grown into a team of fifteen specialists — architects, designers, artisans —
united by this conviction.
We work with a select number of clients each year to
ensure every project receives our full commitment and creative energy.
Every choice is deliberate. We reject the arbitrary, selecting materials,
forms, and finishes that serve both beauty and purpose.
Longevity
We design for decades, not seasons. Our work transcends trend, building spaces
that will be treasured long into the future.
Collaboration
The best work emerges from genuine partnership. We listen as much as we speak,
building spaces that truly belong to you.
