The entry of this Soho townhouse I did illustrates how design can create a passageway from urban grit to a functional, aesthetically pleasing and nurturing human space. New York traffic is ten feet away; here the reality is beauty, comfort, functionality. That soothing green suggests how in interior design we seek what nature gives: balance, harmony, wholeness. My job is to accomplish that mission, to do that with subtle attention to the way your family lives, within budget, and in a way that reflects who you are.
