FR Review:
Clients are consistently impressed with Alexa Hampton's innate design sensitivity, commitment to quality and range of scope. There is always a classical underpinning with a wealth of historical reference. In the country, there is a nod to contextual suitability, but "it is very much a catered affair" with the same ultimate resources being trucked in. Hampton is also credited for her attention to detail, professional demeanor and charming personality. Hampton assumed the reins of Mark Hampton Inc. after the death of her father in 1998. Hampton has ably gained the confidence of past clients and has built a base of her own, reflecting her spirited approach with a pastiche of the finest Chippendale antiques intermingled with the likes of Jean-Michel Frank.
Hampton graduated from Brown and studied at the Institute of Fine Arts at NYU. At age thirteen, she began working in her father's office, developing what clients say are her well-honed design instincts. Hampton's versatile capabilities are reflected in her recent projects. These include a new Louis XIV-style home in Atlanta, a Balinese-style Florida retreat, a formal Anglo-French home, a traditional boat with modern backgrounds and several New York apartments, ranging from modern eclectic to streamlined traditional. Clients say that the common thread is a desire to steer the project to the absolute highest standards, given the budget. Of the five large and twenty smaller ongoing projects, about three are in the regional area. To the delight of clients and the detriment of the schedule, design delegation is not Hampton's forte.
The firm works with a fairly High design fee (but this includes oversight services and auction consultations) and Classic retail on products. Hampton is known to mix it up to meet budgets--De Angelis for the living room and Classic Sofa for the playroom (with some unique tweaks). While most projects are large, the firm is happy to work on smaller assignments. AD 100, 2002, 2004. HB Top Designers, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004. ID Hall of Fame. KB 1997, 1999.

Representative Client Comments:
"The ballast is firmly in the keel, the sails are on course." "There is a new focus." "I have been in the real estate development business for over 30 years, and I have not seen anyone with the project management skills Alexa has brought to the table." "Walking through the D&D with Alexa is like being with royalty, everyone rushes to her side." "Architectural details have fallen between the cracks, but the interior design is fabulous." "Alexa has a unique eye. We will go through 200 samples at the D&D and she will know exactly which blue will work. It is amazing." "I am pleased to report that Alexa is quite busy. But this can mean less of her time for the smaller clients." "While not cheap, Alexa is quite fair. Getting it right is a matter of pride and family tradition." "Once you have seen the exemplary quality ‘Down the Rabbit-Hole' and experienced the joy of Alexa's dry wit, it is hard to turn back."
