Studio SF was founded in 2016 after 15 years of professional experience in the residential and retail markets of New York City and beyond. This wide-ranging experience brings confidence to navigate the most intricate of interior renovations. Steven graduated from Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2002 with a B.Arch (Prof), working on a wide variety of projects for the following 2 years in South Africa.
Relocating to New York City in 2004, Steven worked for 6 years under the guidance of Stephan Jaklitsch at SJA. Collaborating with prominent interior and furniture designers designer as well as an array of consultants required for the complex nature of the projects.
In 2010, with a focus on residential interiors, Steven worked with James Mohn Architects, successfully completing several residential projects from apartment reimaginings to complete renovation of upstate homes.
In 2013, Steven teamed up with Sayigh-Duman Architects to realize and implement a new showroom concept design for a prominent national modern furniture vendor. As lead designer and project manager, Steven completed the Soho flagship store in 2014 and supervised the rollout of several stores nationally, including at 57th st in NYC.
Steven took the leap and founded archi*productions to pursue a more personable approach to the renovation project. Each project is realized working closely with a trusted team to solve complex design briefs, to synthesize a design that can be translated effectively within the existing parameters to deliver a robust, excellently constructed and finished product.
Collaboration with superb professionals and craftspersons over the course of the dozens of projects completed together has resulted in a close team of structural and mechanical engineers, general contractors, and millworkers that has the experience and innovation, and confidence required to take on any project of any size.
We look forward to bringing these experiences and professional teams to the next exciting project.
