Brass and white oak kitchen

The owners wanted a kitchen that could hold a crowded Sunday and still feel calm on Monday morning. Brass-faced uppers catch the window light. The oak was drawn, built and installed from our own millwork package.

About

Never from a template.
A home should tell the story of the people who live there.

Born in Moscow into a family of artists and musicians, Svetlana developed an appreciation for the arts from an early age. After earning a music degree from the Russian Academy of Music, she moved to New York and began a decade-long career as a textile artist. Her work with fashion houses including Ralph Lauren, Jones New York and Escada cultivated her eye for composition, materials and detail, elements that continue to define her interiors today.
