Drake/Anderson brings their respective takes on glamour, curation, and elegance to bear in a range of luxurious residential and commercial projects.

Drake/Anderson

Dynamic eclecticism is the hallmark of the New York-based firm, whose work forges a perfect balance between timelessness and today. At the heart of every project is the belief that the best décor expresses personality and place. The resulting environments are inviting, delightful, and above all resolutely livable.

Drake/Anderson has completed elegant, polished interiors in many of Manhattan’s “it” buildings as well as in sprawling Hamptons estates, luxurious Malibu beach houses, stately London townhouses, and lush retreats from Bermuda to the Middle East and around the world.

Individually and as a team, Drake/Anderson has achieved the highest awards and accolades in the industry, including the prestigious Elle Decor A-List, the Architectural Digest AD100 list, Interior Design magazine’s Hall of Fame, House Beautiful’s Master Class and Next Wave, and many more.

Jamie Drake, on the left, is widely regarded as one of the first designers to popularize Modernism in interior design, beginning in the 1980s. He is known for his fearless approach to color as well as his fashion-conscious sensibility. Caleb Anderson, on the right, is lauded for his layered approach to interiors and the confidence with which he juxtaposes a variety of historic periods from the design continuum.

1. Downtown Manhattan Residence

This very unique and special home sits high above Manhattan featuring the firm’s signature complexity of finishes in a reductive recipe – rich minimalism à la Drake/Anderson.

2. Midtown Residence

So often dreams are depicted as floating clouds, and for these international clients, the long-held desire to have a New York City home was realized high in the sky. In every room, from the fluted plaster walled foyer to the Venetian plaster-clad living room and dining room, to the silk velvet upholstered cocoon of the ultra-luxurious main bedroom, contemporary furnishings and art from the best artisans and galleries abound.

3. Midtown Pied-À-Terre

In a spacious pied-à-terre nested high in one of Manhattan’s newest towers, Drake/Anderson embraces a new kind of minimalism with a curatorial approach and a color palette that is elemental and bold. As important as the expansive, birds-eye views of Central Park were the choices that allowed those views to shine – black, white, gray – but with a depth that made it equally as interesting. So as to not distract from the sweeping views, furnishings were kept low and clean.

4. Tribeca Residence

Like a grand cruise ship sailing down the Hudson River just outside, this 5,800 sq. ft. apartment by Drake/Anderson is bright, light and filled with fresh air. The intimate foyer sets the tone, with its textural mix in shades of white: dimensional plaster walls, a parchment-wrapped console, and a mirror framed in eggshell inlay, the pieces accented with ebonized and satin brass accents.

7. Walker Tower Residence

Like a warm embrace, this apartment by Drake/Anderson was created for a stylish woman and her twenty-something daughter beginning a new chapter on life’s journey. The razzle-dazzle pattern of the foyer’s wallpaper was a play on the architecture of the great Art Deco building this unit is in.

8. ONE57 Apartment

The foyer celebrates the high floor the apartment sits on, between the ground and heaven. The walls were painted sky blue and finished with a topcoat of starry mica dust. Circular motifs abound, celestial in nature, including the center table, rug, and chandelier hung from a glossy cloud white orb on the ceiling.

9. West Chelsea Residence

When a designer gets to do their own residence, it’s an opportunity to indulge their vision fully. For Jamie, this is his home. A structural column in the middle posed a challenge, but instead of trying to make it disappear, Drake/Andreson celebrated it and made it even larger. Clad in a variety of materials – ebonized oak, charcoal lacquer, dark bronze and woven brass and steel – all come together to add richness and interest to this focal point.
