Structure before decoration.
We restore the inherent structural logic of historic metropolitan residences, combining rigorous spatial diagnostics with bespoke modern millwork integration.
The diagnostic method.
Honoring architectural bones.
Every brownstone and loft has an inherent geometry. We strip away decades of compromised renovations to reveal resolved volumes, prioritizing material integrity and uncompromising utility over superficial trends.
Our custom millwork is designed not as furniture, but as an extension of the building's architecture, creating seamless storage and functional zones that respect the original layout.
Sara Vance.
Rigorous spatial execution.
With a background in architectural preservation and structural engineering, Sara Vance founded the studio to challenge the superficial nature of residential interior design.
Her practice is built on the belief that a home's layout must serve its occupants with uncompromising utility. By focusing on structural diagnostics and custom millwork, she delivers environments that are both intellectually rigorous and deeply livable.
Begin with a spatial diagnostic.
We do not offer casual decorating advice. Our work begins with an intensive, ninety-minute consultation to analyze your home's structural logic and outline a definitive spatial plan.
