We see our role as the agent between the client and the ever evolving world of custom design stressing individuality and incomparable attention to detail." Well versed in both modern and traditional design it is a transitional approach that most often bears the Barnum + Company signature.

John Berenson, John Berenson Interior Design. John approaches each design project on an individual basis, since he believes no two clients are ever alike. He believes that good design will possess a timeless quality, combining classic periods with just the right element of surprise. A successful space is one that not only appeals to the visual sense, but also envelops us in comfort. The most successful projects are those where the client and designer are in harmony with one another, allowing the designer to be at their creative best. Good design is that which can withstand the test of time.

Dennis Duffy, IIDA Duffy Design Group.The underlying philosophy of Duffy Design Group is that intelligent planning, respect for each client's needs, and concern for the appropriateness of the design combine to produce the best result. We believe that the design process is participatory and collaborative. From the onset, we confer with each client, to ascertain their functional and aesthetic goals. Because of this individual approach, Duffy Design Group does not project a particular "style". Our approach to space is from a modernist perspective in that we strive to enhance the architectural envelope, not overwhelm it. We design our interiors to form a cohesive link to the architecture. Every project has its own signature "look", relative to the client.
