The use of natural materials, such as the combination of stone and wood, evokes casual luxury that is also very livable.
Stucker and Veal custom designed and built the kitchen cabinets, finishing them in Farrow & Ball paint (Lamp Room Grey) to compliment the stone and wood.
"The combination of the materials makes for a contemporary yet timeless kitchen that will last a lifetime. We aim to design kitchens that not only look good but are made to stand the test of time." — Christine Stucker
In addition to project architecture and design, Veal and Stucker built and designed many of the furnishings, including a custom shelving unit, light fixtures, and seating.
The dining area is awash in natural light.
While the homeowners kept their original sofa and various decor items, new custom storage, seating, and freshly painted walls completely revitalize the space.
The combination of filtered natural light and light hardwood flooring make for a bright and airy dining area.
"We transformed the space into what a high end Upper West Side Apartment should be." — Christine Stucker
Veal and Stewart often create custom lighting and furniture pieces for their clients.
Veal and Stucker created a stylish and functional reading nook off of the living room, complete with a custom shelving unit.
The Stewart-Schafer team hand-selected each slab of Calacatta Vagli marble to be book-matched. "We love the beautiful natural veining and imperfections of marble against the clean lines of the kitchen design," noted Stucker. To protect the marble, they used a trade secret sealing product that comes with a lifetime guarantee, which, according to Stucker "helps alleviate the hesitations some clients have with marble."
