THE NEW YORK BROWNSTONES ARE MY TRUE INSPIRATION WHILE DESIGNING INTERIORS. I LOVE FOCUSING ON SMALL DETAILS, ORNAMENTS AND DECORATIONS THAT I LATER USE IN MY DESIGNS. AGATA AND PIOTR'S PROJECT WAS A TOTALLY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE FOR ME, BECAUSE IT STARTED WITH A WONDERFUL STORY. PIOTR DECIDED TO GIVE HIS WIFE A 30TH BIRTHDAY GIFT IN THE FORM OF AN INTERIOR DESIGN FROM SHOKO DESIGN. I REMEMBER THE MOMENT WHEN I CALLED AGATA WITH BIRTHDAY WISHES AND SURPRISED HER WITH THE FACT THAT SOON WE WILL START WORKING ON HER HOUSE TOGETHER. I REMEMBER HOW GREAT JOY AND HAPPINESS POURED FROM HER VOICE, AND I COULDN'T WAIT TO START WORKING WITH SUCH INVENTIVE AND WARM-HEARTED PEOPLE. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, AGATA AND I WERE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING AND WE BOTH FELT THAT WE WANTED TO TAKE EXACTLY THE SAME DIRECTION IN THE STYLE OF THIS INTERIOR. WORKING WITH AGATA WAS A GREAT PLEASURE BECAUSE I FELT REAL TRUST AND OPENNESS TO MY IDEAS ON HER PART.

Sq. Ft.: 1500
No. of floors: 1

WE CONSIDERED THE BLACK BEAMS FOR THE CEILING, WHICH WERE A VERY BOLD ELEMENT AND COULD DOMINATE THE ENTIRE INTERIOR, FOR A LONG TIME, BUT IN THE END AGATA GAVE ME THE GREEN LIGHT, AND THE FINAL EFFECT DELIGHTED BOTH OF US. THE ELEMENTS THAT DEFINITELY DISTINGUISH THIS INTERIOR ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF MOLDINGS AND WINDOW FRAMES THAT STRONGLY EMPHASIZE THE LOOK OF INTERIOR AND MAKE IT VERY ELEGANT. ARRANGING THE FLOOR IN A LADDER PATTERN PERFECTLY DECORATES THE INTERIOR, AND ITS COLOR IMITATES THE RAW SHADE OF OAK. THE KITCHEN IS THE FOCAL POINT OF THIS INTERIOR - DRESSED IN BRASS HANDLES FROM THE BRASSEV COMPANY, A BEAUTIFUL COUNTERTOP IMITATING MARBLE, SUBWAY TILES ON THE WALLS AND A BEAUTIFUL CENTER-BRIDGE THAT WE CAME STRAIGHT FROM LONDON. THE BATHROOMS ARE ALSO DECORATED IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF NEW YORK BROWNSTONES WITH BEAUTIFULLY ELABORATED MOSAICS, BRASS ACCESSORIES AND SUBWAY TILES WITH A BLACK GROUT.
