Fairfax & Sammons

"Traditional architecture for the modern world" is the motto of Architectural and Interior Design firm, Fairfax & Sammons. Anne Fairfax and Richard Sammons are a husband and wife team, based in New York, who have created some wonderful homes around the world. They have a talent for creating traditional-modern interiors inside classical architecture. These are just a few of my picks from their portfolio..








There are many more images on their website if you're interested, plus a great interview of the couple on the NYSD website where they showcase their own lovely West Village home. Check it out!

    Really beautiful work--I'm crazy about the herringbone flooring in the entryway.

    What beautiful rooms! Thank you for introducing me to these designers. Husband and wife designers... that is an interesting concept! It seems to work very well in their case.

    I love the coffered ceiling, bay window and chocolate brown wall in the 4th picture. And also the herringbone floor in the entry with the barrel vault ceiling!

    Yes that herringbone floor is incredible! I am doing a lot of herringbone floors in my home in Marrakech but they are made out of bejmat handmade tile - creamy and neutral. But I love the graphic punch of these.
