Every project commences with structural analysis, natural illumination studies, and spatial volume calculations. We reject surface styling and seasonal decor in favor of permanent architectural alterations that maximize natural light and quiet circulation.
Our material palettes draw entirely from unaltered natural resources: unlacquered brass, quarry-sourced limestone, patinated steel, and solid European white oak. These elemental surfaces mature with age, developing an enduring patina that artificial veneers can never replicate.
Fifteen years of practice
Principals Julian Vane and Claire Moreau trained in metropolitan structural preservation and master planning before consolidating their residential studio. Their joint practice bridges complex civic engineering with private estate craftsmanship.
To maintain absolute oversight from structural framing through turnkey millwork installation, the studio limits its annual roster to six major commissions, guaranteeing direct partner governance over every detail.
Review your commission
Consultations are conducted privately in our Mercer Street studio to review architectural drawings and feasibility.
