FR Review:
A modern and clean style defines Neal Beckstedt Studio. His designs often use layers of different materials and a savvy mix of vintage and new. The effect of this is an elegant but relaxed home. Beckstedt’s rooms afford comfort as well as functionality.

Beckstedt received his master’s of architecture from Ball State University, after which he worked for renowned architect Russell Groves in New York. However, Beckstedt found himself disappointed in the exterior focus of the architecture business. Wanting to concentrate on interiors, he switched over to interior design and opened his firm in 2010. One of his most notable first projects was working with Derek Lam on his residence, and Neal Beckstedt Studio grew from there.

Beckstedt is the only principal, but the firm has two lead architects and two lead interior designers, and each have two assistants. The team works on ten to twelve projects at once, five of which are usually gut renovations. Jobs are split equally between houses and apartments. The studio mostly works locally, focusing on the Hamptons, New Jersey, Westchester and New York City. Projects range from 10,000-square-foot homes to one-bedroom pied-a^-terres in the city. We hear Beckstedt is budget-conscious and always shows clients a range of options. Reportedly, he likes to mix and match catalog pieces with fine vintage and upholstery. Beckstedt charges an average markup over net and a design fee based on square footage and scope. For architectural involvement, the studio charges a high-to-average hourly.

Representative Client Comments:

That’s how beautiful it is now.” “Neal walks into a room and immediately sees what it can be.” “A rising talent–hot new ideas.” “Neal was able to combine my ideas with my husband’s ideas.” “He made our home clean, contemporary and warm at the same time.” “Always available.
