We’ve been following the work of low-key design savant Helen Rice for more than a decade now (we first profiled her creative agency, Fuzzco, which she cofounded with Josh Nissenboim, back in 2014). And when we checked in with her recently, we found ourselves transfixed by her Pitt Street project in Charleston, undertaken by Serious Buildings, Fuzzco’s design-driven real estate investment company.
The interiors are painted a uniform shade of Tallow from Farrow & Ball, but we’re especially taken by the subtle touches of red she deploys throughout the interior (see The Unexpected Red Theory: Yay or Nay?).
Join us for a tour:
