Services
Two ways in, from fully managed to lightly guided.
Not sure where to start? The first conversation is free, with no obligation.
More than one way in
Every project begins with understanding you: your life, your rhythms and the way you want your home to feel. Point at a service to see what it includes.
Full Service
You're not managing this, we are. Every vendor conversation, every site visit, every decision. You show up for the moments that matter.
Custom-scoped · Full home or per room
Spec Book
Every finish, fixture and spec, drawn clearly enough that your contractor can build it without us in the room.
Projects
Homes across the Hudson Valley, the Berkshires and beyond.
Every one of these began with a conversation about how the people in it live.
No two alike, on purpose
We reveal yours, we don't impose ours. There is no Curio look, only the one that was already yours.
A weekend house that had been holding its breath.
A room that finally understood what children actually need.
Small square footage. Very large personality.
Hospitality at the scale of a guesthouse, the quality of a hotel.
Three structures. One vocabulary.
The studio
Rooted in the Hudson Valley. Connecting people, place and planet.
Inquiry before intervention. Design asks before it acts.
“We reveal yours. We don’t impose ours.”

From first measure to final styling
A typical Full Service timeline
Refuge, not performance
Spaces for real life, not for photographs. A space should feel inevitable in its setting, not imported into it.
Regenerative by intention
Every material is chosen for its story, its origin, its ecological footprint and how long it will last.
Rooted in the Hudson Valley
Questions before the first conversation
What each service costs, how long projects take, and how we work alongside your contractor.
Journal
Essays and guides from the studio on design, materials and place.

What Vermont Does to You

The In-Between Season
The in-between season -- when the days are still warm but the nights turn cool -- reveals something about what a home needs to be that summer and winter both obscure.
