“On a modest budget, our comprehensive proposal to Farnaz Mansuri and her associates was to create warmth, intimacy and user-friendliness and include elements of an active religious center, auditorium, lobby and administrative offices…
Ms Mansuri’s uncompromising integrity culminated in replacing the insensitive alterations….with elegant yet coolly modern façade…Through her exquisite designs, Ms Mansuri superbly refurbished our Baha’i Center, and with meticulous attention to the smallest detail, she restored the magic in our community and above all restored a building that will be a worthy permanent expression of our Faith.”

BANCHET FLOWERS, NEW YORK, NY
“I hired Farnaz and her de-spec team to design my flower shop in this 1,800-square foot raw space. Now, not only do I have the perfect environment to display my flowers but this creative design has also allowed me to have a space with multiple functionality…Our clients started to ask if they could rent the space for private events and I thought why not?...Now, Banchet Flowers continues to flourish as a flower shop but it’s also a sought after event space, we have weddings, fashion shoots, private parties…Farnaz was also a great source of inspiration for our new product line, she has really been key to the overall design of Banchet Flowers …Now I ask Farnaz’ advice on everything!”

“Combination and gut renovation of two-prewar apartments in Manhattan. Partner and Principal Architect Farnaz Mansuri oversaw all aspects for the project. There was significant structural work from new subfloors, opening the main living space and reconfiguring the bedrooms as well as complete revisions and updating almost all electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Farnaz took the lead in working with our building, building architect, trades people, and the city to get the project completed despite the significant obstacles and hurdles caused by the pandemic. In addition to her architectural expertise, Farnaz has been very collaborative and understanding of our goals. She brought a great vision and design but also heard our thoughts and needs in creating a 3 bedroom home with a central communal space for our young family to be together while creating private areas for parents and each child. She listened to our ideas and worked with us; refining and adapting our ideas when we were on the right track and editing when we were not. She understood our budget and helped us make value decisions on where to cut and where to splurge. We initially chose her for the clean, modern aesthetic we saw in her other projects and we are thrilled with the outcome. She has created a calm oasis of a home for a young family in the middle of Manhattan. The apartment flows beautifully and we are now back living in the apartment and in the final phase of furnishing. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Farnaz’ advice has been invaluable, her keen eye and perception have really contributed to the vision and development strategy of this project – 1111 Lincoln Rd, Miami. As a developer I found her inspiring, she made me look at architecture in a different and broader way and I am sure any real estate developer would benefit from meeting her, let alone working with her. She is one of New York City’s exciting and emerging young designers“

They inspired us to think in fresh ways about the small space and respected our wish list.The result is a beautiful, modern, minimalist apartment with maximum usability. Plus, it has unexpected features like a spa quality bathroom, marble kitchen counter and built-in floor to ceiling closet/storage areas“

“I am proud to recommend an outstanding designer, Farnaz Mansuri. We have been working together for the last five years and during that period, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her and her firm de-spec produce inspiring and creative results…. Most recently I hired de-spec to redesign architecture, interior, circulation and overall experience of this project [ The Peninsula, Edgewater, NJ], by keeping the shell and reorganizing the interior. de-spec was able to ‘correct’ this 200 apartment condo building. Farnaz and her team’s talent created a design and a language beyond our expectations…our finished project is a tribute to her skills. Anyone would do well to have her in their designing corner…”
