The space evokes a feeling of calmness and tranquility rooted in history.

The interiors of this historic home were renovated to evoke the feeling of calmness, sensuality, fully connected to the landscape surrounding it at every moment in the space. Each room is connected to the history of the home, yet entirely modernized with specific functional insertions and state of the art appliances and fixtures. A mix of contemporary and historic furnishing are carefully combined to reinforce the serenity of the space.

This house was built in 1852, a historic house in the Village of Sag Harbor, NY. Sitting on a full acre of lush English gardens, the house was built an astronomer and inventor, and it was designed in the Italianate style, featuring a tower (campanella) and has an irregular geometry.

The interiors are designed to evoke the history of the home in its original form, while providing contemporary inserts that act as a backdrop and enhance the atmosphere of the space.

We combined two smaller bathrooms on the second floor into a large, sun-filled master bath. We transformed the tower into a cozy library equipped with a wet bar, and re-purposed its second story into a quiet reading and meditation room. Central Air Conditioning was carefully installed with minimal disruption to the original walls. The kitchen was completely refurbished with top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances and solid birch wood custom cabinetry designed by our studio. The countertops and kitchen island top are white Carrara marble with beveled edges which makes for a minimalist, floating look. We preserved and refurbished the original kitchen hearth and brick pantry. The rest of the house was harmonized through a light green-gray color palette developed in collaboration with Farrow & Ball and carefully restoring the original flooring pine plank flooring and existing woodwork.
