We helped Manhattan author Douglas Kennedy with the design of his new space. You can read all about the process in Luxury Listings Magazine.
“To suit his clean, modern but ‘not minimalist,’ aesthetic, Kennedy orchestrated a ruthless renovation, ordering the walls, ceiling and fixtures stripped and rebuilt to maximize his space. To act as advisors on the complex project, he enlisted the aid of his close friend Kingdon Knowles, the founder of Contemporary Design, a Manhattan-based home remodeling firm, and architect and designer Ellen Martin.”
