Parkslope Brownstone interior renovation process — Natasa Tuohy Studio — Brooklyn New York

Phase 01.

Discover & Define

(Pre-Design / Feasibility)

Before anything is drawn, everything is understood.

 

The process begins with an introductory call to establish the project’s scope, the client’s key needs, the building’s alteration agreement, and overall feasibility. A site visit follows, assessing existing conditions — electrical, structural, and other factors — to identify necessary adjustments early and refine costs and timelines accordingly.

 

Throughout, the studio defines scope, assembles the right team, and begins navigating New York’s regulatory landscape, so that the questions that matter are asked now.

This stage establishes the intellectual and strategic groundwork for a refined and enduring architectural outcome.

Phase 02.

Design & Develop

(Schematic Design / Design Development)

This is where the project takes shape — spatial relationships, planning strategy, material palette, custom detail, and lighting developed into a cohesive architectural and interior expression through 3D parametric modeling in Revit, refined with fabricators, contractors, and consultants.

 

The phase concludes with a readiness check confirming the design, materials, and job site are aligned before construction begins, followed by proposed 2D floor plans and a detailed project budget covering timelines, costs, and allowances.

Conceptual clarity + technical precision.

Key Deliverables

Phase 03.

Document & Coordinate

(Construction Documentation / Permitting)

Design fully resolved. Now it gets built — correctly.
 
We develop all Construction Documents and manage approvals, permits, board submissions, and contractor coordination. For condominiums, we liaise directly with building management and boards.
 
You don’t navigate New York’s regulatory landscape alone.

Technical rigor and coordination establish the framework for a controlled and successful construction process.

Deliver & Complete

(Construction Administration)

We stay present. Through all of it.
 
Site visits. Contractor and fabricator coordination. Design oversight. Real-time decisions made correctly — so the space you approved is the space you move into.
 
The difference between design intent and built reality is how closely you watch the construction. We watch closely.

Continuous oversight ensures the project is realized with clarity, craftsmanship, and exacting standards.

Phase 05.

Furnish, Install & Finalize

(FF&E / Styling)

The space is built. Now it gets lived in.
 
Furniture layouts. Procurement. Installation. Lighting placement.
Working with trusted vendors, leading galleries, and European artisans — each piece selected for craft, longevity, and how it sits in the room.
 
Final styling with precision and restraint.
Nothing generic.

The project is brought to its full expression—crafted with intention, enriched by European sensibility, and ready to be lived in.

Key Deliverables

A strategic interior design approach for developers—shaping layouts, material finishes, and spatial consistency across multi-unit residential projects

Phase 01.

Due Diligence & Scope Definition

(Interiors / Feasibility)

Each project begins with a detailed evaluation of interior conditions, spatial potential, and building-specific requirements. We review layouts, existing finishes, built-ins, and infrastructure—including lighting, AV, and technical systems—to define opportunities and constraints.

We assess alteration agreements, building management guidelines, and applicable local regulations as they relate to interior scope. Early coordination ensures clarity around custom millwork, material finishes, furnishings, and integrated systems, establishing a precise and informed project direction.

Early-stage clarity aligns interior design intent with technical, regulatory, and functional realities.

Key Deliverables

Phase 02.

Design Development

(Interiors / Systems Integration)

The project evolves through a coordinated interior design process, where layouts, materiality, and technical systems are developed into a cohesive and scalable framework. Emphasis is placed on spatial efficiency, consistency across units, and the integration of custom elements.

We define interior layouts, material palettes, custom millwork, and built-in components, while coordinating lighting, AV, and technical systems to ensure seamless functionality. This phase establishes clear design standards and specifications, aligning aesthetics with performance, budget, and constructability.

Design is refined into a precise, repeatable system—balancing visual clarity with technical execution.

Phase 03.

Documentation & Approvals

(Interiors / Compliance)

The project is translated into a comprehensive set of interior construction documents and approval packages, ensuring clarity, precision, and readiness for execution. All drawings and specifications are developed to meet building, board, and Department of Buildings (DOB) requirements specific to New York.

We coordinate closely with licensed professionals, expediters, and building management to prepare submission packages, navigate approval processes, and support contractor bidding. Particular attention is given to custom millwork, finishes, built-ins, and integrated systems to ensure alignment between design intent and technical execution.

Thorough documentation and coordination ensure a seamless path from approval to construction.

Key Deliverables

Phase 04.

Construction Oversight & Close-Out

(Interiors Execution)

During construction, we maintain an active role to ensure the interior design is executed with precision, consistency, and adherence to approved documentation. We coordinate closely with contractors, consultants, and building management to monitor progress, address site conditions, and uphold design intent across all units and common areas.

Particular attention is given to the execution of custom millwork, finishes, built-ins, and integrated systems, ensuring quality and alignment with project standards. Upon completion, we support inspections, punch list resolution, and final detailing to deliver a cohesive, market-ready interior environment.

Careful oversight ensures the project is realized with clarity, consistency, and a high level of finish.

Key Deliverables

A globally minded design process for private residences and villas, integrating local expertise with refined international vision

Phase 01.

Discover & Define

(Global Pre-Design / Feasibility)

Each international project begins with a deep understanding of lifestyle, cultural context, and place. Through site analysis, contextual research, and careful review of local conditions, we define a clear architectural and interior vision, project scope, and guiding principles.

We assess regional regulatory frameworks and identify trusted local consultants, artisans, and construction partners, ensuring alignment between global design intent and local execution. This phase establishes a thoughtful and informed foundation for a seamless cross-border design process.

Establishing a global vision grounded in local context and expertise.
