This New York Tudor Is Equal Parts Old-World Sophistication And Youthful Joie de Vivre
Buying and renovating a house typically entails making numerous either/or choices: Either a residence will be fancy or at ease, vivid or serene, intensely private or neighborly. But in Bronxville, New York, one young family has dodged such dilemmas entirely, combining a range of seemingly contrary objectives into one cohesive whole.
Even their choice of designers was a both/and decision: Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller, the principals behind Carrier and Company, are a husband-and-wife team. Not only do the designers bring graceful smarts (and surprise) to every project, they’re also parents and know what it takes to make a showstopper house work for everyday, how to create a place where their clients can host formal, often glamorous, holiday celebrations for 25 members of extended family and settle in for relaxation and play with their four children (all under the age of 12). “We understand pets and kids,” says Carrier.
