At C’est ici Design, we believe in pushing boundaries to create spaces that inspire and captivate. Our latest residential project in New York embodies this ethos with a bold approach that merges the worlds of art and design into a harmonious living experience.
 
This project reimagines the concept of home as an immersive gallery—where curated art pieces and meticulously crafted interiors coexist in perfect synergy. Clean architectural lines provide the canvas, while sculptural furniture, expressive textures, and bespoke materials bring the space to life.
The result is a home that transcends functionality, offering a sanctuary of creativity and sophistication. From the vibrant energy of the city outside to the thoughtfully layered interiors within, every detail reflects the bold spirit of New York and the artistry of C’est ici Design.

At the heart of the entrance is a custom double-sided sofa, a feature that enhances the flow and subtly guides you through the area. A bold XL artwork becomes the centerpiece, paired with a thoughtfully designed cladding that connects to the painting, offering an unexpected twist to the traditional art display.
 
The statement checkered marble floor, in rich burgundy and white, anchors the entrance with color and pattern, creating a striking first impression. To complement this, we designed a bespoke wooden door that transitions seamlessly into the herringbone wooden floor of the social area, providing a harmonious blend of materials and textures.

The New York project, a vibrant canvas where art and design met seamlessly. Our clients, passionate art collectors, brought an exceptional collection that became the focal point of this villa’s design. At C'est ici, we embraced their bold vision, using their pieces to inspire pops of color, striking patterns, and carefully curated textures throughout the space.
 
Each room tells its own story, with statement pieces anchoring the design and unique color palettes creating depth and energy. We paired vibrant hues with soft neutrals to let the art shine while ensuring the interiors remained warm and inviting. Geometric patterns and layered textures added a modern twist, creating a dynamic yet harmonious balance that flows effortlessly from room to room.

In the formal social area, a connected living and dining space, we introduced zoning to create three distinct yet cohesive atmospheres: living, lounge, and dining. Each zone balances comfort and style, offering a fluid yet functional layout for both everyday use and entertaining. This design perfectly captures the unique character of the villa while ensuring every detail enhances the overall experience.

ARCHITECTURAL WONDER OF THE MONTH
CASA KYMA

Casa Kyma, an architectural and interior design masterpiece by Hana Waxman Design, is an exquisite retreat nestled in the idyllic coastal enclave of Punta de Mita, Mexico.
Designed as a haven for a family of five, the home is a harmonious blend of natural beauty, thoughtful craftsmanship, and contemporary elegance. Every detail of Casa Kyma reflects a commitment to creating a space that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings while offering unparalleled comfort and functionality.
 
The name "Kyma," meaning "wave" in Greek, is a fitting tribute to the residence's connection to the ocean. The design draws heavily from the serene rhythms of the Mexican coastline, incorporating natural materials such as local stone, timber, and organic textiles. The palette is anchored in neutral tones, accented with soft earthy hues, creating a tranquil and cohesive environment that resonates with the simplicity and elegance of coastal living.

Casa Kyma's layout is a study in open-plan design, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. Expansive glass walls, large terraces, and shaded courtyards ensure a constant interplay between the interiors and the lush tropical landscape. This seamless transition not only maximizes natural light and ventilation but also invites the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean into every corner of the home.
 
The interiors are as captivating as the architecture, with Hana Waxman Design's signature touch evident in every room. The furnishings are curated to balance modern sophistication with warmth, using custom pieces that emphasize clean lines and comfort. Textural layers of soft linens, handcrafted rugs, and artisanal décor elements imbue the space with a welcoming ambiance, while carefully selected accents—such as unique lighting fixtures and sculptural art—add a sense of refined luxury.
 
Casa Kyma is more than a physical structure; it is an embodiment of a lifestyle that prioritizes connection—connection to nature, to family, and to a sense of inner calm. The home's communal spaces, including the open-concept kitchen, dining area, and living room, are designed to foster togetherness and conviviality. Meanwhile, private retreats such as the bedrooms and spa-like bathrooms offer moments of solitude and relaxation, ensuring a balanced living experience.

The exterior spaces are equally inviting, featuring a stunning infinity pool that mirrors the azure hues of the ocean, lush gardens that echo the local flora, and shaded lounges perfect for unwinding under the Mexican sun. The design honors the region's climate and cultural heritage, using sustainable materials and techniques to create a home that feels deeply rooted in its environment.
Hana Waxman Design has achieved a rare feat with Casa Kyma: a residence that is both a luxurious sanctuary and a heartfelt reflection of its natural surroundings. It is a place where timeless design meets modern living, offering a sense of peace, beauty, and purpose for all who dwell within. Casa Kyma stands as a testament to the transformative power of thoughtful design and its ability to create spaces that inspire and uplift.
