The Long Island interior designers, architects, and landscape specialists in the AD PRO Directory showcase serious range, taking on the many styles that grace the region, from Shingle-style cottages in Montauk to modern beachfront mansions in the Hamptons. Whether you’re looking to increase your curb appeal with a new landscape, refresh the interiors of your summer beach retreat, or do a soup-to-nuts historic renovation, these AD-approved Long Island–based talents can bring your vision to life.
Interior Design
In the business of interiors for more than 30 years, bicoastal designer Jeffrey Alan Marks shows no signs of slowing down. Over the course of his career, Marks has created sumptuous living spaces around the world and even made his mark on television as a star of Million-Dollar Decorators. Combining East Coast sophistication with West Coast casual-coolness, his interiors are easygoing and elevated—characteristics that helped propel him into successful product licensing deals with Kravet, the Rug Company, and other industry giants. Rizzoli published his book The Meaning of Home in 2013, and the designer plans to release a second volume next spring.
