The Spirit Behind The Name
The forgotten opera houses dotting New York’s Hudson Valley rivertowns were indispensable venues for art and culture in the 19th and early-20th centuries. These beacons of luxury and enchantment were the heart and soul of a community.
Based in the Hudson Valley and New York City, we partner with clients nationwide through full-service design and thoughtful consulting.
Grounded in modern living and inspired by architectural and historic detail, we create unexpected spaces—shaped by the life lived within them. Each project unfolds as an immersive, fully realized environment—where narrative, atmosphere, and detail come together to create a complete sensory experience. We embrace constraints as creative opportunity, work across a range of budgets, and leave room for a quiet sense of wit.
Whitney Parshall

Whitney is a multidisciplinary creative with a background spanning interior design and television production. Prior to launching her own studio, she worked as an interior stylist for Anthropologie’s Anthro Living, and earlier in her career produced for television networks including the History Channel and Food Network.
