Stivale Graffam Home provides a seamless design build NYC experience, bringing interior design, construction, project management, and craftsmanship together under one coordinated team. From transforming individual rooms to creating an entirely new home, the company manages every stage with attention to detail, clear communication, and thoughtful planning. Its integrated approach helps homeowners maintain budget awareness, avoid unnecessary complications, and enjoy a smoother renovation or building journey. With a focus on refined design and quality craftsmanship, Stivale Graffam Home turns luxury home visions into reality.

Founded in 2022 by John Stivale and Steven Graffam, the studio is young, but the resumes behind it are not. John is the fifth generation of a family of carpenters and builders, studied Interior Design and Architecture at the Fashion Institute of Technology, then managed the design studio at Flair in New York, designing high-end residential interiors nationally and producing capsule collections of furniture and decor. After Flair he developed product lines for Jonathan Adler, Bungalow 5 and Arteriors. That combination, construction in the family and product development as a career, explains the unusual shape of the practice.

Design-build here means one team carrying interior design, construction, project management, procurement and craftsmanship. The firm’s argument against the conventional route is specific: a traditional high-end renovation asks the homeowner to coordinate architects, designers, contractors, consultants and vendors, which produces communication gaps and surprises in the budget. Aligning design and construction from the first day is what the studio says removes them, with one point of accountability and design decisions made with construction cost and timeline already in view.

The practice runs wider than interiors. Luxury property management is a service line, as is product design and development, brand strategy and merchandising. The studio also sells its own bespoke collection and a line of home products, which is a reasonable test of whether a designer’s eye survives contact with manufacturing.

Clients are served across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, The Hamptons, Palm Beach and Miami. Consultations are booked privately through the site or by phone at 646-397-1207, and the firm is based in New York, NY.
