The client loves black and white patterns, so we chose a patterned yet neutral paper that looks hand drawn up close.

These busy parents wanted a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Melissa chose calming blues and greens to create a coastal-like getaway. The bathroom was also designed to accommodate a wheel chair.

Living in Midtown Manhattan offers the perfect blend of work and play. Here, you feel the energy of the bustling corporate world, while iconic landmarks like Times Square, the Empire State Building, and Rockefeller Center are just steps away, drawing excited tourists to the neighborhood. Entertainment is always within reach, with Broadway theaters, shopping areas, and exceptional dining just around the corner. The pace is fast, and the excitement never stops.

The owner wanted the house to have a sense of privacy, but also serve as an ideal place to receive guests. He also hoped the spaces would possess zen, an atmosphere that emphasises meditation, as well as layers. The designer proposed a modern reinterpretation of Chinese culture, one that perfectly balanced the physical experience with the owner’s spiritual needs. The final design presents a mood of tranquility, quietly counteracting the hustle and bustle of daily life. The designer focused on two aspects: remodelling and optimising the structure, and integrating Eastern and Western cultures by using modern forms of expression. As a result, two seemingly opposing styles successfully coexist. Through the selection of materials such as dyed wood veneer, silk wallpaper, crystals, copper items and detailed designs that reflect the existence of traditional Eastern culture, the house sidestepped the cliché of relying completely on a Chinese style.

This 12th-story condo overlooks a bustling and beautiful marina. The original space had the sofa facing the wall. I rearranged the floorplan so the seating area faced the beautiful ocean view. I also renovated by installing authentic bluestone cut tiles as a veneer on both the main wall behind the sofa, as well as on two large pillars in the Living Room. I gave the bluestone veneer a wet-look finish to make the space look super sleek and contemporary.

Due to very short ceilings this space seemed impossible to work with. However, we made it a cozy spot for kids or adults! It's a spot to lounge & relax. You can read, nap, draw, or take a quiet break from the hustle and bustle!
