Richard Mishaan Design

What Richard Mishaan Design does

Richard Mishaan Design is a New York-based, founder-owned architectural and interior design firm established in 1991 (with a 1997 launch of its retail sub-brand Homer). The firm provides full-service design — interior design, architecture, landscape design, and bespoke furniture design — for ultra-high-net-worth residential clients (Hamptons estates, Florida homes, New York apartments and townhouses) and select hospitality venues (including hotels in South Beach and Cartagena). Its design philosophy centers on blending collectibles, antiques, art, and furnishings into distinctive environments, led by founder and principal designer Richard Mishaan.

The firm operates as a boutique creative-services practice rather than a platform business. Its core technology is a curated design methodology, not a software system; it produces physical design deliverables (architectural plans, interior schemes, furniture, landscape plans). Revenue mechanics flow from bespoke project fees for high-end commissions, supplemented by retail sales through the wholly-owned Homer boutique in Manhattan and channel partnerships with Dering Hall and 1stDibs for online distribution. The firm extends its brand through three published design books (Modern Luxury, Artfully Modern, and Richard Mishaan Design with Vendome Press, 2021) and earned media coverage in Elle Décor, Architectural Digest, Forbes, and Town & Country.

Go-to-market is relationship-driven inbound via press, published works, and portfolio referrals rather than outbound sales. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, operates from a single headquarters at 145 Hudson Street, Suite 5A, New York, and has a headcount of 11-50 employees. Richard Mishaan is the sole named principal; the firm relies on his personal brand, AD100 and Elle Décor A-List credentials, and 28+ years of cross-disciplinary creative-arts experience as the principal intangible asset.
