The office of Eric J. Smith is best known for its sensitive and sumptuous residential work, all crafted with exceptional attention to detail, beauty, tradition, craftsmanship, and comfort.
Based in New York City for over 35 years, the firm has designed new homes and apartments, as well as undertaken residential renovations in cities, suburbs, and rural areas across the United States and the United Kingdom.
As the head of his studio, Eric Smith is deeply committed to drawing out the highest level of performance from the team, which includes his in-house staff, landscape and interior design collaborators, craftsmen, construction crews, and engineering consultants.
Smith achieves the architectural equivalent of perfected domesticity by thoughtfully considering how a home will be lived in and how its residents will move through it. His designs are often rooted in historical inspiration while seamlessly integrating—and frequently concealing—cutting-edge technologies that enhance both luxury and functionality.
With the Fall 2019 publication of Renewing Tradition: The Architecture of Eric J. Smith, the studio’s first monograph, its work has reached a wider audience. Readers and design enthusiasts alike can appreciate the timeless quality of Smith’s architecture and understand why his clients, many of whom envision homes meant to last generations, are so well served by working with him.
