Ward + Gray

Ward + Gray is a New York City-based boutique interior design firm led by principals Christie Ward and Staver Gray. With studios in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and Miami, Ward + Gray work on hospitality, residential and commercial projects across the US and internationally. Valuing each project’s unique nuances, the studio crafts richly layered, collected interiors rooted in a sense of place. Specializing in completely bespoke spaces, Christie and Staver custom-design the majority of a project’s furnishings, while also embracing the timelessness of vintage and antique pieces. Each space is crafted to evoke an atmosphere of lived-in authenticity. Christie and Staver met studying interior design at Parsons School of Design in New York City. They have worked side by side ever since, designing boutique hotel interiors for groups including Soho House + Co, Auberge Resorts, Brookfield and SH Hotels + Resorts, 1 Hotels.

For their design of Wildflower Farms, the firm has won multiple awards including Architectural Digest’s Great Design Awards, Veranda’s World’s Most Beautiful Hotels, two AHEAD Awards and BLT Built Design Hospitality Award.
