The kitchen at Roxbury Barns began as a collection of disjointed rooms, which was not exactly ideal for extended family gatherings or even making breakfast. By borrowing space from the original entry way (moved to a new location), the kitchen became one handsome and functional space, complete with new ceiling beams to mimic the timber in the barns. We continue to swoon over this custom walnut island and double-bullnose countertop. Swipe to see a peek at the before!

The pass through between the dining room & party barn at Roxbury Barns is the room that does it all: behind the green smoke cabinetry you’ll find a fridge, dishwashers, and a coffee bar. Ideal for morning and evening beverages enjoyed in the attached screened in patio. Plus, the views into the front yard through the encased windows are a gardener’s dream for potting plants and arranging flowers atop the Campan Marble.

The primary bath at Roxbury Barns, reconfigured as fully his-and-hers. New stone herringbone floors brought warmth to the freestanding tub and original timber framing. Two custom walnut vanities, one with an oversized brass mirror and another with a leather-strapped mirror, give each space its own character (and ample opportunity to take in all the natural light!). Swipe to see the original bathroom.

These checkered stone floors flow from the entry throughout kitchen and dining room at Roxbury Barns. And don’t you agree they catch the light perfectly from every angle?

In the primary bedroom at Roxbury Barns, the hand-hewn timber framing was left exposed. The new bubble chandelier suspended from the rafters acts as a counterweight to the room’s original architecture. And the boucle bed, ribbed nightstands, and Beni-style rug soften the entire space.

The den at Roxbury Barns. The millwork was original to the house and was stripped back rather than replaced. What read as knotty pine became something more elegant, especially as the light moves across it through the day. New coffered ceilings carry the panels overhead (the fifth wall, finally earning its keep!). The fireplace was refinished in Calacatta Viola, and an eclectic mix of furniture added in, including a vintage armchair wrapped in an aptly named Yeti fabric from Pierre Frey that anchors the room.
Last slide: where the room began.

A little behind-the-scenes look at a three day project shoot for a jaw-dropping home. Wait until you see the before & after of this now stunning (yes, we’re complimenting ourselves) place.
Every project requires a multitude of decisions. In the kitchen of our La Jolla project, we’ve been mulling over endless options for the kitchen backsplash. We finally found this mosaic Moroccan Zellige tile in clay, rust, and light pink. The colors complement the Oxide Red Stove perfectly. We then played around with the mosaic pattern for different layouts—swipe through to see our final design decision. Can’t wait to see this installed soon!
To our clients, partners, vendors, friends & families —
Exactly one year ago, we launched Studio Isaac with the belief that great design should be both beautiful and livable. Today, we’re writing to you from the other side of year one, and we have a lot to celebrate!
We’ve designed from coast to coast: navigating New York co-ops, breathing fresh life into a 100+ year-old home in Atlanta, sourcing leathered quartzite for a handsome wet bar in St. Petersburg. None of it happened without your support... and we’re just getting started.
To our amazing clients: thank you for trusting us with your homes and businesses.
To everyone who referred us, passed along our name at dinner, sent a “you should really call Studio Isaac” text—thank you. Word of mouth is invaluable, and we don’t take a single introduction for granted.
To everyone who liked a post, shared a photo, or commented on our work, you have no idea how much it matters to a new studio.
To every partner, vendor, fabricator, and showroom contact who went the extra mile to get the perfect sample overnighted or tracked down a custom fixture, you’re part of every room we’ve built.
A glimpse into 36 hours in La Jolla meeting with our client, contractor, and trades to review construction progress, finalize materials, and label deliveries galore. Nothing compares to seeing samples in the actual rooms & light they will be installed in, and nothing hits quite like the satisfaction of a beautifully grouted tile. This home will be a visual feast, mixing soft palettes with bold choices from room to room.
We’re iterating concepts for the living room FF&E of a family home in Brooklyn. The intention is to create an inviting, but playful space that mixes new items, performance fabrics, enduring materials, and vintage pieces that nod to the brownstone-lined street. We’ve fallen in love with a few of these items… namely the brass-lined walnut sideboard & cut mohair chairs.
