"I had always wanted to do a Tudor home. It's so interesting architecturally. I like to look at the heritage of a place, and then seamlessly interweave that with something more contemporary and personal," Jessica Gersten, founder of her namesake interior design agency Jessica Gersten Design, says of a commission she recently completed — a 1929 manor house reinvented into a sunshine-filled, sophisticated abode.
Known for her sculptural, richly layered take on interiors, Jessica faced a different challenge with this project than her usual homes. "So much of New York is white-box apartments; architectural richness like you see here isn't that common to come by," Jessica explains. The moment she saw how much character this house had, she couldn't wait to get started.
