RECENT WORK
CARROLL GARDENS RESIDENCE
Working in collaboration with Blejer Architecture, S8A embarked on a complete transformation of the building. Together, they developed a holistic redesign that restructured the existing layouts and introduced thoughtful architectural interventions. S8A guided the clients through material and fixture selections, and designed bespoke elements to ensure every space functioned—and felt—exactly as intended.

PARK SLOPE TOWNHOUSE
S8A turned a formerly cold, stripped-down garden level into what is now the warm heart of a young family’s Brooklyn townhouse. Inspired by original detailing found on the upper floors, character was reintroduced into the space, a custom kitchen was designed to unite the space, tailored millwork resolved everyday storage needs, and facilitated a seamless connection to the backyard—transforming 600 square feet into a place that their clients described as magical.

OCEAN REEF ISLAND RESIDENCES
For the clients—longtime collaborators of Studio 8 Architecture founder Tana Nesbitt-Hayes—the project was less about spectacle than continuity. Splitting their time between Panama and Miami, they sought a home that could host family and friends with ease while offering moments of quiet withdrawal. Decades of shared work between architect and client allowed the design process to proceed with clarity and trust, guided by a simple directive: open, light, space to gather with loved ones with an enduring connection to the bay.

PARK SLOPE APARTMENT
This Park Slope apartment marks S8As second—and far more extensive—renovation for one of the firm’s earliest New York City clients. In their first collaboration, a light refresh completed over a decade ago, the clients sought a “grown-up” apartment but were working within a modest budget. The new design narrative, however, offered an opportunity to reimagine the home more holistically. Initial budget constraints gave way to a comprehensive vision of minimalist living enriched by an unwavering commitment to material authenticity and craftsmanship.

ASBURY PARK RESIDENCE
Perched high above the shoreline in one of Asbury Park’s most forward-looking residential towers, the Asbury Park Residence captures the spirit of the Jersey Shore’s ongoing renaissance. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass wrap the apartment, framing sweeping views of the ocean and the seaside town below as it continues to evolve into a vibrant cultural destination.
