Residential Interiors

We don’t live outside of our homes. We inhabit them, we circulate within them, we infuse them with our lifestyles, and vice-versa. The craft of creating an interior environment – and the many spaces within – must be approached with the right vision, creativity, and acuity. CBT’s multifamily interiors embody each property’s specific character, as expressed from grand architectural gestures down to subtle palette decisions, furniture, look/feel, and, of course, art. We conceive and realize environments that express the project vision and speak to the residents who choose to live there. We relish the exercise of research, discovery, and interpretation to create truly unprecedented living environments that continue to be sought-after gems that exceed the expectations of both our clients and their cherished tenant communities.
