The Next Chapter

If you know The Chanler, you know it has always evolved through care rather than declaration. The recent work continues that approach. The lobby and shared rooms have been thoughtfully re-composed to strengthen how the house is entered, inhabited, and experienced—bringing greater clarity and cohesion while remaining grounded in what already belongs here. This was not a project driven by novelty or scale, but by stewardship. The intention was to refine the public spaces so they feel more resolved, more continuous, and more attuned to the rhythms of the house.

Led by Studio Valerius, the interiors are guided by proportion, material, and light. Forms move quietly through the rooms. Surfaces are layered with restraint. Furnishings feel gathered over time rather than installed all at once. The result is a sequence of spaces that invite presence rather than attention. Art is integrated into the architecture of the house. Custom plaster work by Esteban Monsalve introduces surfaces that respond subtly to changing light throughout the day. Sculptural ceramic lighting by Cym Warkov and bespoke rugs by Marguerite Le Maire further ground the rooms in hand, texture, and material honesty. Nothing here is meant to announce itself.

What has changed is not the character of the house, but its focus. The Chanler remains what it has always been—a place shaped slowly, deliberately, and with care. What you’ll find now is simply a clearer expression of that point of view.
