Pembrooke & Ives

What Pembrooke & Ives does

Pembrooke & Ives is a luxury interior design firm founded in 1987 by Andrew Sheinman, headquartered in New York City at 519 Eighth Avenue, with additional offices in California, Florida, and Greece. The firm employs a team of 60 designers and has completed more than 500 design projects spanning private residences, residential towers, country clubs, private yachts, and private jets for ultra-high-net-worth individuals and real estate developers. Its client base includes named developer partnerships with Related Companies (South Flagler House, West Palm Beach) and Corcoran Sunshine (model apartments), alongside individual celebrity and CEO clients.

The firm's service offering covers the full project lifecycle through five core capabilities: pre-design and budgeting, concept development, interior architecture, project management, and decorating and styling. Revenue is generated through custom project fees on a professional services model, with project budgets ranging from under $1M to over $10M. Design processes rely on traditional tools (sketches, CAD drawings, concept images) with no proprietary technology platform disclosed. The firm has diversified into co-branded product collaborations with prestigious partners including Hudson Valley Lighting (six lighting families launched at High Point Market in October 2022), Chesneys (The Empire and The Mercury fireplace mantels), Drummonds (solid brass Hudson Collection plumbing fixtures), Valli & Valli (custom hardware), and Hamilton Sinkler (door handles).

The firm operates a project-based GTM targeting UHNW individuals, real estate developers, and private clubs, with marketing driven by earned press in publications including Architectural Digest AD100, Elle Decor, Forbes, House Beautiful, Robb Report, and Interior Design Magazine Top 100 Giants of Design (2024). The business is privately held by founder Andrew Sheinman (President), with a 2025 leadership transition appointing Dereck Hough as CEO to professionalize operations beyond founder-led roots, supported by a C-suite including COO Erica Lerner, CFO Ted Theodoropoulos, Chief Strategy & Brand Officer Alexia Sheinman, and Principal/CCO Francis Nicdao.
