Tailored, with dramatic flourishes: uncompromising with regard to detailing and appropriateness: contemporary, but not outré. The Manhattan based architecture and design firm Bohn Associates delivers environments that make space a place. Principals Warren Bohn and Kelly Woodruff and their staff turn out superlative settings, which include restaurants, retail stores, hotels, public lobbies, offices, health clubs, fashion showrooms, lobbies and private residences, for clients who are looking to communicate a distinctive message to the world.

Bohn Associates' unique design approach has created such familiar and memorable spots as Metronome, one of New York City's most urbane restaurant and event spaces, located in the bustling Flatiron District; Isabella's, a landmark dining spot along the trendy Columbus Avenue Strip on Manhattan's Upper West Side, and Hulot's, New York City's first open-kitchen French Style bistro on the Upper West Side, the style of which has often been mimicked. For clients in the Seventh Avenue Garment Center, Bohn Associates has translated the look and feel of the clothing lines offered into architecturally relevant presentations of the individuals firms' desired fashion image- from wild to traditional.

Well versed stylists who can develop interiors that range from the minimal to the vivid, from classic to contemporary, Bohn and Woodruff and their team consider their efforts as collaborations. They involve and consult clients, artisans and crafts people, lighting designers, engineers and custom product manufacturers in the process from planning and budgeting through to the finished touches that ultimately make or break a successful space. This philosophy of total design and complete involvement of the various players in realization of a project makes for thoroughly integrated, well thought out spaces that fully address functional, aesthetic and economic needs. The two joined forces in 1988 and have become design taste-makers with a wide array of flawless and inventive finished projects.
