Studio Valle de Valle Completes Restoration of Historic Upper East Side Townhouse
Architect Giancarlo Valle and former Architectural Digest editor Jane Keltner de Valle have finished renovating a seven-story Manhattan townhouse through their joint firm, Studio Valle de Valle. The project involved a comprehensive restoration of the 1904 structure, which had been largely stripped, returning it to neo-Classical style with new wood paneling, moldings, and a central staircase. The couple furnished the 20-room residence with a blend of midcentury, contemporary, and folk art pieces, reflecting their collaborative aesthetic developed while working on their own homes. This townhouse represents their focus on interior design after Valle's earlier career in architectural exteriors.
