This Lake Como-inspired house, built into a ridge rising out of the Long Island Sound, was a challenging space for interior design. Originally intended to be a summer getaway, the spaces our team created transformed into a year-round destination (and inadvertently a retreat during the CPVID-19 pandemic). Our adventurous client was open to exploring new ideas. This allowed us to explore interesting details, such as a curving Chinese Chippendale railing at the main stair.
