Upon acquiring the property, the homeowner faced a compact backyard dominated by a neglected lawn that offered little usability. The ambition was not only to enhance the outdoor space's utility but to inject it with vibrant aesthetics and dynamism through the hardscape. To bring this vision to life, we embraced a palette of colorful materials, choosing multicolored concrete, pavers, and tiles that introduce a playful yet sophisticated charm. Further creativity was applied in the design through the use of curvy lines that flow organically throughout the space, leading the eye and inviting movement. Beach rocks were thoughtfully embedded into decorative bands, adding a tactile and visual texture that complements the curvilinear approach. This strategic combination of color, texture, and form transformed the backyard into a visually stimulating and highly functional outdoor living area.

The mammoth phalanxes of white-brick apartment houses that proliferated in the 1960s occupy an architectural purgatory; generic, with boxy interiors devoid of detail, many aren’t even interesting enough to excite a raised eyebrow. Our solution for this exemplar near Astor Place, which fortunately was blessed with premium skyline views, was to relieve the interior ordinariness by stimulating the senses with tactile variety. Axis Mundi created a complexly layered textural palette that injects visual adrenaline into the architectural envelope: a television set into a waxed steel panel topped by clerestory windows with a built-in planter for grasses; wenge wood walls rising from richly figured walnut floors; white subway tile surrounding a subtly colored penny-tile mosaic tub and wall; in the kitchen, Venetian plaster, steel, stone and wood mix harmoniously as a surprisingly spiced exotic concoction. The interiors exude a confident masculinity that challenges the complacency of bland, white-box living.

How would you describe this space? We like to call it Cozy Modern Farmhouse with a slight Boho edge! :) Our client wanted inject some personality into her space with an updated look that is stylish but one that is comfortable and inviting for family and guests. We added a fabulously soft caramel leather track arm sofa, a cozy chaise lounge for reading and watching television, and must have swivel chairs for additional guests. The family enjoys putting their feet up and stretching out, so an upholstered over-sized round ottoman that doubles as a coffee table was the perfect option! Family is number one to our client so we added a gallery wall and balanced that over-sized artwork flanked by iron sconces (with remote control candles - A GIRLS BEST FRIEND). Lastly the layered lighting finishes off the space from the Prairie Style ceiling fan, to the floor lamp, table lamps. What a fun and inviting space! We love it!

This kitchen remodel was a complete transformation, taken down to the studs to allow for a bold redesign that blends functionality with striking mid-century modern style. Every surface and element was refreshed to bring new life to this previously traditional space. We installed all-new custom cabinetry and high-performance appliances, tailored to modern cooking and entertaining needs. The floors were upgraded with warm-toned hardwood throughout the main areas, and a stunning handmade tile from Fireclay was selected for the kitchen—adding rich texture, craftsmanship, and personality. The green tile backsplash serves as a dramatic focal point, accented by vibrant pops of yellow in the light fixtures that inject energy and playfulness into the design. A new back door was also installed, allowing significantly more natural light to flood into the space. This renovation showcases how thoughtful material selection and bold color choices can completely reimagine a space. The finished kitchen is a confident shift from traditional to a fresh, mid-century modern aesthetic—inviting, functional, and full of character.

Creating your dream space in a rental home can sometimes feel limiting, but for this project we focused on unlocking colorful possibilities for our clients. Originally, both office spaces were bare and clean but lacked personality. Our goal was to level everything up while injecting more fun and flavor into the office spaces so they had Zoom-friendly backdrops that made them look forward to going into the office each day. Her space was crafted to be fun, playful and full of texture. A gorgeous wooden bookcase with a unique design accent at the bottom became one of the more practical features of the room while the Zoom-worthy artwork behind her desk gave her colleagues and clients an instant conversation starter.

Architectural interest was added with our custom feature wall of herringbone wood paneling, wrapped beams and navy grasscloth lined bookshelves flanking an Ann Sacks marble mosaic fireplace surround.
