Interior Design Studio — New York
Quiet rooms,built to last.
We design homes with restraint — natural materials, honest craft and daylight left to do most of the work.

Studio
A Scandinavian sensibility, made for New York apartments.
Avto Sense is a small interior design practice working across Manhattan and Brooklyn. We take on a handful of projects each year so that every room receives the same attention — from the plan on day one to the last object placed on a shelf.
Our work is quiet by intention. Pale timber, lime plaster, wool and stone. Few colours, considered proportions, and enough empty space for a home to breathe. The result is meant to feel finished, not decorated — and to age well.

“They took a dark pre-war apartment and made it feel like it had always been ours. Nothing shouts, and everything works.”
