ABOUT CHRISTOPHER, Principal & Co-founder
Christopher Sale, A.I.A. holds a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, magna cum laude, from Miami University in Oxford, OH, where he studied architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture and graduated first in his class. He spent the first 15 years of his career leading the design, construction management, and engineering coordination of large-scale premium airline lounges. For the subsequent four years, he worked at Gramercy Design under Kyle O’Donnell, reigniting his passion for residential architecture. While at Gramercy, Chris was the lead architect and interior designer on a range of full-scale renovation and interiors projects in New York City, the Hamptons, and beyond.
In his spare time, Chris loves exploring museums, historic homes and gardens, as well as exercising, reading, and cooking. His Tudor City apartment that he shares with his rescue dog, Conor, has been featured on Homeworthy and his remarks on design have been quoted in the New York Times.
ABOUT CAROLINE , Co-founder & Interior Designer
Caroline Watkins is an interior designer and recent graduate of the NAAB-accredited Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture at the University of Oklahoma, where she studied Interior Design. Her work has been recognized for its thoughtful approach to form and function, including a “Best in Show” award for her furniture design in the Purpose in Form showcase.
With experience at Adam Hunter, Inc. in Los Angeles and Gramercy Design in New York City, Caroline has collaborated on a range of residential interior design projects. Her design perspective is shaped by travel, art, architecture, and craftsmanship, with a particular appreciation for layered materials, color, and texture. A favorite source of inspiration was her time in Morocco, where she was drawn to the country’s rich artisan traditions, vibrant palettes, and beautifully crafted pieces.
