"I didn't know them from Adam; we have nobody in common-there was a freedom in that,"
"They wanted to change as little as possible, which was really fun,"
"They're such interesting, considered people but quite green when it comes to decorating."
"The second we walked in, we knew it was different. It has a lot of character."
Leonora Hamill, a London-based designer known for eclectic style and historical references, began a three-year project with a young couple who wanted to change as little as possible in their newly acquired 1878 Victorian Gothic brownstone. An initial unexpected video call led to a collaborative friendship and immersive design process. Hamill introduced mood boards and influential designers—Renzo Mongiardino, Federico Forquet, and Henri Samuel—to shape the clients’ sensibilities. The five-story single-family residence retained many original details, which informed a restrained yet inventive approach focused on period layering, pattern, and thoughtful object selection.
