About
Good design builds wealth.
Through our years of experience in real estate, we have seen this proven again and again. The difference in value between a well designed home and a poorly maintained one is obvious.
Less obvious are the other benefits: well-designed homes sell for more money, of course, but they also sell faster, to more motivated and better-qualified buyers. The opposite applies as well: for a clever buyer with a good design team, an “ugly duckling” of a home may be a hidden gem. In either case, the secret to unlocking the value of a home lies in its design
Good design doesn’t just add value for the homeowner. It elevates the entire community.
Through our work in real estate, we have seen again and again the impact of good design (and, sadly, bad design). You know that house with the brightly painted door? Or the lovely flower box you pass every day? What about the chandelier you admire on your way to the subway? Far from being self-indulgent, a beautiful home is a source of civic pride – it benefits everyone.
Sustainable design is for everyone
We’re not hippies. We’re not perfect. We drive trucks. But we try to limit our footprint with local sources and recycled materials. We believe the best (and least expensive) “green” practices begin with adaptive re-use.
Sweat the details
A copper kettle on the stove. An ebony doorknob. A treasured painting, passed down through generations. Some design choices you make consciously, and some you inherit. We believe people respond on an emotional level to design when it is rich with meaning. When it has a lived-in quality, even when it is brand new. We showcase our clients’ own styles while adding details that enrich their lives every day.
Building equity means building relationships
We introduce our clients to the design/build community we have been working with for decades. We share our sources, contacts and techniques so our clients can feel in control of their own homes. Smart design makes smarter homeowners.

PASSION

Design with purpose & craft.
Tina Fallon began her design work in the theater, where her experience as a carpenter, technical director and production manager informed her choice of materials, love of the dramatic gesture and respect for craftsmanship.
With herself as client, she renovated a series of homes in Brooklyn, Connecticut and Long Island. This led to work as a real estate agent, where she shares her understanding of the renovation process with buyer clients. For sellers, she created step-by-step staging plans to make the most of each property. Alongside Victoria Hagman, she enlarged her scope of work to include gut renovation and new development interior work for an expanding circle of clients. Tina believes design should both reflect and enhance how people really live.
Victoria Alexander is involved with various planning and historic preservation issues in Brooklyn. Her work in real estate has exposed her to the individuals and institutions governing public life in New York City. Victoria earned a masters degree in Historic Preservation Planning from Pratt while managing her real estate brokerage.
Working with architects and contractors has provided her with the foundations of an education on building restoration, new construction developments, and conversion projects, as well as many details about mechanicals from floorboards to boilers. Her years in real estate have given her a deep understanding of the market - what buyers and tenants are looking for in a home. She shares this knowledge with her clients to ensure a successful design project, not just a beautiful one.
