“Since day one Peter listened to our needs, including our kids. He took every concern and opinion into consideration and was able to translate them with precision. The result is a home with personality, a home that reflects the family we are and that we enjoy living in. ”
“Peter Pawlak brought can-do energy to the goal of knitting the apartments-one couple had owned for a decade and a smaller one next door-into a seamless whole. “He started a floor plan while we were talking.” says Pomerantz, the director of global communications for fashion house Botega Veneta. The sketch was rough, but the concept was ideal: 3200 square feet with separate zones for the couple and their 9- and 4- old sons and family size kitchen to serve as its fulcrum. Pawlak’s final plan also took full advantage of windows that face south, west, and north, ensuring that the rooms and corridors are filled with natural light.”
“Peter, congratulations!! The house is stunningly beautiful. For my part flawlessly designed. You have a lot to be proud of. ”
