INPUT — New York Interior Design

ABOUT

INPUT is a New York interior design firm working in luxury multifamily residential, hospitality, and mixed-use development across New York City and the Northeast. We design the spaces people move through every day, the lobbies, amenity floors, and shared environments where a building becomes a place to belong.

We begin every project with three questions. Why is this building the way it is. Who will live here. And how must the space work, as a system, to serve them. The answers are never the same twice, which is why our work resists a fixed style. What stays constant is the way we think, not a look we repeat. The result is a recognizable design language that emerges from each building's own logic rather than being imposed on it.

Since founding in 2010, INPUT has delivered full-scope interior design, lobby, amenities, individual residences, and construction documentation, on more than 300 projects across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the broader metro area, from boutique condominiums to 600-unit rental developments. Recent recognition includes a 2026 NYCxDesign Awards Finalist nod, Lobby and Amenities, for The Westmark, and a 2026 NYSID Rising Star Award for both principals.

DESIGN CONVICTION

We believe a space is felt before it is seen. The visual is the surface. What actually shapes how a room makes you feel, at ease, held, quietly happy, lives in the parts you never notice: how a space is built, how it is sequenced, how light and proportion and detail resolve. We design those invisible decisions with the same care most firms reserve for the visible ones, because they are what the feeling is made of. Often the right reference is not the obvious one. A building's industrial past may matter less than the domestic warmth of the streets around it. We design toward what a place could become, not only what it has been. And we do it with a certain joy. We hold our work to a serious standard and keep our sense of play intact, because we have never believed the two are opposed.

PROCESS

DISCOVERY
Every project begins with the building's own logic. We interrogate the context, the target resident, the development positioning, and the operational realities before any design decision is made. This is not preliminary work. It is where the design is actually determined.
NARRATIVE
We establish a clear design narrative before establishing a palette. The concept must answer three questions: why is this building the way it is, who lives here, and how must the space function as a machine for them. Everything that follows is in service of those answers.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
The narrative is translated into space, material, and sequence. We work closely with ownership, architects, and consultants to ensure that design integrity survives the distance between concept and construction document. The detail is where the feeling is built or lost.
COORDINATION
We remain active partners through documentation and construction, not observers. Budget and schedule are real constraints we design within, not problems we hand back. Buildability is considered from the first sketch, not retrofitted at the end.
DELIVERY
The standard we hold ourselves to is simple: the built space should feel the way the first concept said it would. We stay engaged through completion to make sure it does.
