Ovadia Interior Design and Architecture is a nationally recognized interior design and architecture studio in the heart of Manhattan. We believe the best design lives where art and discipline meet, and we create fully customized, emotionally engaging interiors for high-end homes, from the quiet luxury of private estates in Deal and Long Island to the refined complexity of Brooklyn brownstones, luxury Manhattan apartments, and standout development projects.

Our work blends modern elegance, warmth, and a little bit of magic into every space we create. Every project is grounded in architecture-first thinking, with custom millwork, integrated lighting, and meticulously detailed interior architecture as the foundation. We design across all of it: floor plans, elevations, construction documents, FF&E, and the long, exciting arc of construction administration and install.

Just as important as the work is the studio itself. We are a small, collaborative team that takes craft seriously and ourselves a little less so. We mentor at every level, we share ideas freely, and we believe the in-person studio energy is where the best design happens. Whether you are early in your career or leading projects of your own, you will find people here who genuinely care about both the craft and your growth in it.

If that sounds like the kind of place you want to do your best work, we would love to meet you.
