CHERRY LANE
PHASE 1 & 2
Location: New York, USA
Program: Residential, Renovation
Year: 2024 - 2025
Status; Completed
Located in Syosset, New York, this seven-bedroom residence is undergoing a multi-phase transformation inspired by the clients' personal history, shared memories, and evolving family life. The project encompasses a comprehensive interior fit-out, bespoke architectural interventions, and the adaptation of previously underutilized spaces to create a home that is both deeply personal and responsive to the family's changing needs.
At the heart of the design is the clients' shared story. Having met in Bangkok, Thailand, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the couple developed a lasting connection to the city's vibrant cafés, restaurants, and tropical atmosphere. These experiences became the foundation of the design concept, translating memories of places they once frequented into the architectural language of their family home in New York.
CAFE (PHASE I)
The design explores a dialogue between Tropical Modernism and Japandi aesthetics. Communal spaces embrace the warmth, rich textures, and expressive character of tropical interiors, while private areas adopt a more restrained palette of natural materials, soft tones, and minimalist detailing. The interplay between these two approaches creates a layered residential experience, allowing each space to develop its own distinct identity while contributing to a cohesive whole.
DINING ROOM (PHASE I)
LIVING ROOM (PHASE I)
Building upon the initial interior transformation, Phase II introduces custom millwork, integrated shelving, and carefully considered architectural refinements that further articulate the home's design language. A central feature is the bespoke living room shelving installation, completed in January 2026, which establishes a new focal point within the residence's primary gathering space.
