One of the firm’s most iconic projects was for a kitchen remodeling project in New York. Inspired by transitional interior design, the space provides a light and comfortable atmosphere. The use of wood and the white palette for the cabinetry, storage, and backsplashes—all against the mild-toned wood flooring—amplifies the ambiance.

Many of these projects—products of partnerships with leading architects and designers in the field—can be found across lower Westchester County.


Paudie Hanley leads the firm’s everyday practice. Hanley led one of the firm’s biggest projects in Larchmont. The remodeling project produced a transitional home that combines the neutral palettes of beige and white against the contrasting coolness of light blue textiles and the warmth of stained wood flooring. The resulting interiors produced a feeling of luxury and regality, enhanced by the choice of fixtures and artisan furniture.
