“I begin every project by listening — to the family, the house, and the street it sits on. The drawing comes after.”
Lidia is from Argentina, and her path between continents shapes a diverse, cross-cultural approach to residential design.
With more than thirty years completing residential projects and teaching design in the United States, she has developed a careful, methodical approach: uncovering the uniqueness of each client's expectations, color language, and use of space before a single line is drawn.
Lidia works closely with families on these foundational elements — proportion, light, materiality, flow — so the finished home feels neither imposed nor borrowed, but unmistakably theirs.
A pre-war apartment in the Flatiron District, redrawn around a single material idea: warm walnut, honest stone, and the unhurried geometry of a kitchen meant for everyday life.
“ The room had to feel like it had always been there — that no one had pulled it out of a magazine, but lifted it gently from the bones of the building itself.
Whole-home plans, façade studies, and the careful articulation of how a house meets its garden and street.
The two rooms a family lives hardest in. Cabinetry, lighting and millwork drawn to the millimeter.
China cabinets, libraries, mudrooms, and the small storage that makes daily life quieter.
Stairs, paneling, trim, hardware. The grammar of a finished room.
Family rooms, primary suites, mudrooms — added so the new addition reads as if it has always been there.
Calm, spa-adjacent rooms with honest stone, daylight and ventilation done right.
An unhurried first conversation in the home. Habits, frustrations, hopes, and what the house already wants to be.
Measured drawings, light studies and a quiet read of structure, sightlines and the way the rooms connect.
Plans, sections and a tactile material story. Two or three options, then a single direction we refine together.
Cabinetry, millwork, lighting and finish schedules drawn at full scale. The pieces that decide whether a room sings.
On-site weekly with the contractor. Decisions made in real time and documented so nothing is left to memory.
Lidia gave us a kitchen that feels like it has been here as long as the house has. We don't notice the design — we just live in it.
She is the only architect I have met who walks through your home, sees what you cannot articulate, and then draws it.
Three decades of practice show in the small things — a window placed where the light wants to be, a stair tread that fits the body.
New projects start with a short visit, in person. Tell me a little about the house and what you're hoping for — I read every note myself.
