It is located in Montauk, New York, and measures 3,800 square feet in total. The entire space exudes the studio's work from its signature styles and influences of the East End infused to the interior visuals. It honors the environment throughout the entire design. The influence is drawn from the city's natural beauty and the palette of earthy tones along with whites and creams elevate the space in a neutral manner. This is accented with white-washed wooden paneling as well. The decor features a juxtaposing theme with [vintage and contemporary themes harmonizing together](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-island-house) across the space.
