Everyone deserves reflective design. 

Foz Design is a multidisciplinary design studio with a focus on architecture, interior design, and furniture design. While providing visionary design is our goal, we also believe everyone deserves reflective design. We are committed to creating designs that are genuine reflections of our clients—those that are faithful to their emotional and functional needs—and also reflective in evoking a reaction, thought, or feeling with those experiencing the space. Through an integrated and collaborative design and building process, we aim to create a story that celebrates the uniqueness of each client. 

Foz Design, based in New York City, is led by principal Fauzia Khanani. It was established in 2011 with a single project—a home in Upstate New York—and has grown to include a range of custom residential, commercial office, and public spaces spanning from New York to California. Khanani holds a Master of Architecture degree from the University of California, Berkeley as well as a background in sociology and public health. She has prior architectural experience in affordable housing, multi-family housing and public schools in addition to all of her custom residential work.

**★★★★★ — aurorarachel, April 2016**

> Foz Design was great to work with. They managed the project and took the anxiety out of the process. Recommended great professionals and made construction and design recommendations that fit my budget, space limitations and taste. When the work was done, a friend who saw the "before" said, "Wow! You told me what you wanted to do, but I didn't think it was possible. I'm impressed!" It was Foz Design who helped make that happen. Highly recommended!!!

  - Description: This loft is home to a couple that loves to travel and entertain. To showcase the couple’s extensive collection of art and sculptures from around the world, we designed a system of walnut shelving on a translucent resin wall at the Entry Foyer of the apartment. The resin wall allows diffused light and shadows to pass into the previously unremarkable elevator lobby area. The living area blends such warm elements as walnut cabinetry with contemporary materials and details, matching comfort with st…

  - Description: A NYC-based couple that spends weekdays running an internationally acclaimed advertising agency approached us to design a new weekend house where they could retreat and host their family and friends. Located on a property nestled along the banks of the Hudson River in Saugerties, NY, the ground-up 6,780 square foot custom home is modern yet warm, with a rustic cabin-like feel. The clean forms are a nod to mid-century modern architecture, while natural wood, locally quarried stone, expansive wind…

  - Description: A family with two young children, who once resided in Rhinebeck, NY and then relocated to New England, have returned over a decade later to rediscover their hometown. They asked us to assist in renovating their 1970’s French Country home to accommodate their now teenage children and regular visits from extended family. The objective with the full house renovation was to make necessary updates and modernize the space while staying true to the original design. Previously, all of the rooms in the l…

  - Description: A Dutch composer and Manhattanite journalist approached us to assist in the renovation of their 500 square foot pied-a-terre located in a pre-war, landmark building in the heart of New York’s Chelsea neighborhood. The interior renovation included new lighting, flooring, wall treatments, refurbishing existing built-in cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, and the selection of various furnishings. The resulting space is an urban abode with modern day amenities and nods to old world charm. The couple spend…

  - Description: Two Manhattan-based editors came to us in September of 2012 in need of an additional office at their weekend home upstate in Hudson, New York, originally built in 2001 with a modern barn aesthetic. To facilitate the new space, we removed the exterior west wall of an existing music room, expanded the interior space by using square footage from an existing deck, and reimagined its interior with new lighting, a custom-designed maple daybed, and a projection wall. The 590 square foot office area fea…

  - Description: An industrial and textile designer pair asked us to assist in the interior renovation of their newly purchased midcentury modern home situated near Duke University in Durham, NC. Designed by acclaimed local architect, Donald Stewart, it had few, if any, updates when this young family purchased it from the original owners. While maintaining the original design was a priority, we modernized certain areas including a new full bathroom to accommodate their three children as well as a new laundry roo…

  - Description: For this single family residence in a historic Long Island, NY neighborhood, we were asked to design a new full bathroom within an existing footprint. A portion of one of the bedrooms was used to create the compact bathroom. We maximized the 44 square foot space in several ways: by using a floating vanity, a deep medicine cabinet, a wall niche in the shower, and extra towel racks to make use of unused wall space. The small space is further enhanced with high-end tile, plumbing fixtures, and vari…
