Analysis
What Our Clients Say
“My apartment can silo into work zones and expand again into partial or ALL entertaining. I love that a guest observed how my apartment goes from festive and glamorous to intimate and relaxed.”
A+S
“We believe a big part of our relative serenity right now, during the 2020 COVID lockdown, comes from living in the beautiful apartment [AKA] designed for us. Being sequestered here is not at all a trial, and I think of you daily.”
M&B
“Architectural lighting turned the entry, living room, and dining room into welcoming and impressive spaces after dark. All [of Allegra’s] suggestions as to lighting, furniture layout, paint colors, and interior design were presented in the form of value-neutral options. She directed me toward excellent choices, and gave me the space to truly be a partner in the design process.”
M&B
“Allegra became a dear friend over the course of the cosmetic redesign of our rented classic six. Her advice came from carefully listening to our needs and desires for our move to the city from a suburban home. She helped us decide what to keep and what to give away, which allowed us to keep more old favorites and buy less.”
M&B
“Working with Allegra was a pleasure. She spends a great deal of time figuring out how to make an apartment feel like a home. Utilizing every square inch to add storage space, and improving the function in every room, actually makes the apartment larger.
She always made time to supervise the work and demanded perfection from our contractor.
We will continue to work with Allegra on future projects.”
A&BK
“Thanks to AKA our apartment sold quickly in a very early-COVID market.”
