"It was a pleasure to work alongside AiF as the owner's representative over several years, developing and delivering a truly one of a kind vacation home in a remote part of the world, on a very difficult site. They met the challenges with professionalism, enthusiasm, and joy."
"Matthew and the team at AiF were able to create an elegant and livable home for our growing family in Manhattan, combining multiple apartments into a seamless whole."
We are among the best architecture and interior design firms in New York not because of our size — but because of our depth. Every client receives our principal's full attention, from the first sketch to the final furnishing.

We immerse ourselves in your site, its history, and your aspirations — uncovering the hidden conditions that shape a truly responsive design.
We develop a design that feels both inevitable and surprising — solving every constraint in a way that delights rather than compromises.
We see your project through to completion and beyond — ensuring the finished space endures as a meaningful, lasting part of your life.
