Home Studios

Home Studios is a design firm based in Brooklyn. As a former fiction editor, Oliver Haslegrave founded the studio to tell the stories of inspired outsiders through architecture and interior design.

Outsiders are who the studio designs for: confident individuals who value diversity of expression, playful curiosity, devotion to detail and the primacy of emotion over conventional thought and trends.

As a close-knit, collaborative team of 15, the studio combines their accomplished backgrounds in architecture, interiors, custom fabrication and fine art to illuminate the stories of our clients through a process that is intuitive, exacting and attentive.

Beginning in 2009, Home Studios quickly gained a reputation for crafting cult favorite bars and restaurants in the East Village and Brooklyn, building nearly every element of the space themselves. These influential projects include Elsa, Manhattan Inn, Goat Town, Donna and Tørst.

Their recent designs for Gwen, The Spaniard, Bibo and Harvey House have been recognized as among the best in the country. The studio has been featured in The New York Times, T Magazine, Architectural Digest and Elle Decor, and has been placed twice on the AN Interior 50 and Sight Unseen Hot List.

Long known for the singular look and feel of their hospitality work, the studio recently began undertaking residences. In 2020 their first New York residence on Bond Street was completed, followed by a Fort Greene townhouse in 2021, with a Williamsburg townhouse currently underway. The studio also creates, by commission, custom lighting and furniture works for residential projects.

Oliver Haslegrave has a BA in Film Studies from Wesleyan University and worked as a Fiction Editor at Little, Brown prior to founding the studio.
