Chesa Studio/Press
Press
How the studio works with editors and writers.
Chesa Studio works quietly. We restore houses in the Engadin, build new country houses in Litchfield County and Greenwich, and advise on properties between New York, the Italian lakes, and the Alps. There is no published press about the studio yet, and we would rather say that plainly than dress the page. When coverage exists it will be listed here with the publication, the date, the project, and the workshops credited by name. Press inquiries reach the studio at 917.502.9236 or contact@chesa.studio.
Lectures and conversations
We accept a small number of speaking engagements each year at architecture schools, preservation trusts, family office gatherings, and editorial breakfasts. Past and forthcoming conversations have centred on Engadin restoration practice, the discipline of building new in Connecticut so a house reads as inherited, and the working relationship between a curator-led interior and a serious art collection. Inquiries from editors, conveners, and university programs are welcome through the studio line.
For editors and writers
We respond to substantive editorial inquiries from named publications and commissioned freelance writers. We will sit for a site visit, walk a building, open the workshop drawings, and introduce the masons, plasterers, and joiners by name. We do not participate in roundup features or sponsored content. Image use is granted per project and per publication.
Press contact
Editorial and image inquiries: contact@chesa.studio with press in the subject line, or call the studio at 917.502.9236. We hold a thirty-day lead time for editorial visits and full-day site walks.
