Stripped of its original charm with sagging floors and water leaks, this 1900 row house was prime for a full renovation. While the staircase and marble fireplace are original, everything from the white oak flooring, crown, applied, and base moldings, to the archways and brass door hardware is new; yet they all feel original to the house. Other projects included removing soffits and tucking away randomly placed support beams and posts, relocating and expanding the kitchen, renovating each bathroom – and adding a new one, upgrading all the mechanical, electric and plumbing systems, removing a fireplace, and regrading the back patio for proper drainage and added greenery. The project is a perfect study of juxtaposing new and old, classic and modern. Photography Stacy Zarin Goldberg

Our Long Island studio used a bright, neutral palette to create a cohesive ambiance in this beautiful lower level designed for play and entertainment. We used wallpapers, tiles, rugs, wooden accents, soft furnishings, and creative lighting to make it a fun, livable, sophisticated entertainment space for the whole family. The multifunctional space has a golf simulator and pool table, a wine room and home bar, and televisions at every site line, making it THE favorite hangout spot in this home.

The balusters and doors are painted nearly black in Railings by Farrow & Ball, adding a rich custom look to the staircase and hallway. A Century bench, wrapped in granite sheepskin, features a weightless acrylic base. What appears as art above the bench is actually an additional television for the family to enjoy. We love the board and baton detailing on the side of the staircase wall.

A small room feels more useful when storage, seating, and the main working surface have distinct positions. The wall-mounted shelves leave the floor clear, while the restrained furniture arrangement preserves a comfortable route from the door to the window. — Mia Jones
