Of these extraordinary clients,
Suzanne Tucker notes there
was ���a special synchronicity
[which] arises when you
work on several projects with
clients who are also personal
friends.��� Tucker & Marks had
decorated the clients��� country
house; now their task was to
transform a city house owned
by them for thirty years into a
residence suitable for empty
nesters: ���We orchestrated a
massive remodel with architect
Andrew Skurman���a southfacing expansion, basement
excavation and complete fourfloor reconfiguration���intended
to suit their evolving lifestyle and
penchant for entertaining.���
���These clients appreciate a
creative adventure,��� Tucker goes
on to say. ���Unafraid of strong
hues or using the elements of
d��cor to reflect their personal
passions, they allowed whimsy
to play a role in choosing new
furnishings.��� The clients were
also attached to inherited pieces;
the designers��� challenge was to
mingle old and new.
