In the master bedroom, we
began by addressing the feature wall. We fabricated a custom folding screen in
an indigo blue linen fabric that spans the entire wall. We then added an
allover patterned fabric to the headboard and base of the bed. The desk and
night table were custom made and include indigo blue black painted glass
insets. We finished off the space with a swivel chair to enjoy the views.

What was your design for the living room space?
To maximize seating, we
incorporated a custom 10’ long sofa and three pairs of chairs, all vintage. We
added custom round tables on either side of the sofa, along with sculptural
Brutalist lamps and four coffee tables custom made to fit the space.
