THE MHLI EXPERIENCE
Exclusive access.
Priority status.
Exceptional care.
Our high touch, end-to-end approach blends creative vision, expert management, and concierge care. And with private access to a world-class network of specialists, artisans, dealers, gallerists, and construction partners, our clients reap the immeasurable benefit of our leveraged relationships developed over 20 years in the industry. We ease the immense weight of renovations, new construction, and full-home furnishing projects from their shoulders, leaving them simply to grant approvals and enter a fully-realized home — down to the carved marble jewelry tray on their dressing table — without ever lifting a finger.
WE TAILOR YOUR HOME TO THE CONTOURS OF YOUR LIFE
Radical individuality is the
ultimate luxury.
You deserve one-of-a-kind... Full stop. For us, 'just fine' is a fail. The same goes for 'nice' and 'pretty." Yawn. And we detest off-the-rack, knockoff, rinse-and-repeat, seen it already spaces. So if you want your sister-in-law's dining room, hire her designer. No shade, but copy-and-paste just isn't our lane — we drive comfortably in our own.
If instead you seek a dynamic point of view, champion artistry and innovation, value good design as an investment in your well-being and your future, and crave a home you've never seen before, then stick around. We've got a lot more to say. And we're pretty sure you'll love what you're about to see. If you're already sold, By all means click the button below. But if you still need convincing, please do scroll away. We can't wait to tell you about the custom bathtub pictured above that we had sprayed in glossy bronze automotive paint and fitted with custom walnut feet for our fabulously stylish client. That's just how we roll.

A completely purple apartment?
Absolutely! Imagine Alice fell down that rabbit hole to find Tom of Finland and Salvador Dali as guests at the Mad Hatter's after-hours tea party. That was our pitch. Chesire cat sold separately.
Our Vision
We dream of immersive, transportive experiences that stimulate the senses, summon emotion, and conjure worlds of surprise and delight to explore... then we bring them to life wherever it is you call home.

And sure, we'll take the accolades,
but delighted clients are the real feathers in our cap.
Marc is like your favorite therapist: kind and patient but always nudging you toward that one-of-a-kind vision. The blank slate was beyond overwhelming, but Marc made it feel fun and easy. We didn't want to stop even when it was over!
Marc is not afraid of a challenge and is incredibly resourceful. It was really his ability to synthesize budget, vision, and floor plan that really pushed the project forward in a very interesting sophisticated way.
His talent, his training, his eye...all point towards a long, impactful career.
I had absolutely no clue how to furnish my apartment or even lay it out. In a matter of seconds Marc brilliantly blocked the whole space and assembled precisely the right ingredients to turn my blank, awkward apartment into a true showpiece that I continue to be dazzled by every time I open the front door.
A rising star who pushes the boundaries.
Marc understood my style and what made me feel at home, perhaps even better than I did. Any change that he suggested in the early days felt radical to me, but once I made the leap, he helped me find a sense of freedom in a space that had come to feel more like a museum than a home.
There is nothing MHLI cannot take on and their expertise is best in class. They tied all the daunting pieces of design together, taking the pressure off me. Marc is no ordinary designer; and my only advice is run, don't walk, to work with them!
Why'd we select this carpet?
Like impasto strokes on a painted
canvas, the oblong wool-and-silk
surface ripples of this custom living room rug echo the tiny footsteps of the trio of toddler girls who routinely skim its surface. At MHLI, every detail is deliberately calibrated, never an afterthought.
Our Mission
We're obsessed with creating spaces
so emphatically and fundamentally customized to you that you won't find them anywhere else... ever. For us, your design is that personal.

MEET OUR FOUNDER
My design philosophy is deeply rooted in rigorous excavation rather than insertion. I'm not here to impose my will on a space, but instead to unearth each client's essence from it.
