Miriam Peterson and Nathan Rich are completing Nina Chanel Abney's Hudson Valley studio, on the heels of reimagining New York’s MoMA Design Store, Soho, where Abney's Gotham-centric mural spans an entire wall. It’s one of many bright spots in the two-story project’s renovation, which was four years in the making—the 1884 cast-iron building it’s in is landmarked, and the shop had been largely untouched since opening in 2001—but, remarkably, required only a four-month store closure. That’s because PRO did what it does best, “revealing the original character and highlighting it with contemporary interventions,” Rich says.
