Drake Design Associates

Jamie Drake, the man behind some of the country's most dynamic, distinctive, and livable interiors knows how to create delightful environments and craft decor that is as right for a particular place as it is for the person or family occupying it. Equally comfortable in traditional and contemporary styles, he has a natural gift for making modern interiors inviting, and enlivening traditional spaces with a fresh mix of contemporary elements. Drake's device of choice is color - used boldly, fearlessly, and with great flair. Drake launched his firm, Drake Design Associates, in 1978. Since then, he has completed a vast array of projects for an impressive roster of clients. Drake's notable residential interiors include a Los Angeles showplace for Madonna, a Martha's Vineyard vacation retreat, and a stunning Manhattan apartment for Phyllis and Victor Grann. Drake has also completed multiple projects for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg - a client for almost twenty years - including the recent renovation and restoration of Gracie Mansion, the longtime ceremonial residence of the Mayor of New York and the redesign of various rooms at City Hall.
