Our top challenge, the inefficiency of archaic spreadsheets, was completely overcome by the program's superior scheduling features.

We are privileged to collaborate with enthusiastic and inspiring clients who allow us to unleash our creativity and produce exceptional design-led interiors.

At the heart of our distinctive approach are the founders, Matt Bidgoli and Raphael Portet, who leverage their Persian/American and French backgrounds to bring a global perspective to their designs.

The scheduling feature not only saved us significant time but also kept all our project data organized and readily editable in one convenient location.

  • Design Approach: The renovation respected the apartment’s historic architecture while maximizing functionality. A key focus was making the most of the space without compromising on character or comfort.
  • Custom Detailing: A bespoke walnut credenza, shelving, and a storage-rich dining nook were crafted to optimize space. The kitchen features a standout Silver Roots marble island and backsplash—adding a dramatic, natural touch.
  • Materials & Mood: Rich wood tones, velvets, linens, and textured wools lend depth and a tactile warmth to the interiors.
  • Artful Layering: The team curated a personalized art collection that blended vintage Swedish, American, and Brazilian ceramics with expressive French artworks, giving the apartment a worldly and intimate atmosphere.
