The Project

Fisher Island is one of the most exclusive addresses in the United States, accessible only by ferry, with a density of wealth and expectation that demands every design decision be defensible at the highest level.

This full-scope residential project required managing design direction, client presentations, material selections, vendor coordination, and project documentation across multiple phases of delivery, from concept through installation.

Design Direction

The design language was grounded in warmth and restraint: rich walnut millwork, a curated art collection integrated throughout, and an outdoor living program that took full advantage of the water views surrounding the property.

Each space was conceived as a complete world: the kitchen as a professional-grade workspace with sculptural presence, the master suite as a retreat that moved seamlessly between bedroom, bathroom, and terrace, and the living areas as galleries for the client's impressive art collection.
