  • Ben C. & Simone F.
    Home Owners

    “As first-time renovators on a project much larger than we’d originally appreciated, we quickly realized that we were in over our heads and that our pocketbooks would be stretched to the max. Thaís helped us sort through the anxiety and get our project on track. She envisioned a stunning layout that married our somewhat traditional taste with modern elements, and was readily available when we wanted to tweak it. We wanted to take an active role in purchasing finishes to keep costs in line — but she was always around when we had questions. We’re very happy with the transformation of our new home, and we highly recommend Thaís and ElementAire.”

  • Dave R.
    Tenant - Rental Unit

    “I cannot express enough how much I appreciate Thais’ assistance in helping me settle into my NYC home. Everything is now in place and it feels incredibly satisfying! I absolutely adore all the elements she incorporated. Furthermore, the entire process was remarkably smooth, offered great value, and provided reassurance throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend ElementAire’s services.”

  • Connie H.
    Home Owner

    “Thais was great to work with! She was able to incorporate multiple ideas I had for a small room and make it into an elegant multifunctional space. She worked with me to fine tune some very customized needs for my lifestyle. She was also very clear with the whole process upfront and very communicative. I’ve already recommended Elementaire Design to some friends and would do it again!”

  • Louis Marra
    Property Manager / Home Owner

    “I am a professional property manager, and in that capacity I deal with many vendors and professional services. When it came time to rejuvenate my own apartment, I used Thais of ElementAire Design as my designer, and it was an excellent decision. One of the best interactions I have had with a professional service, in a number of ways. First, Thais delivered on all the work items promised and then some. She made sure that all the hand-offs to the contractors and vendors went well, even during the procurement and installation stage (though I had just contracted ElementAire for the design stage). Second, she brought fresh ideas into the design of my apartment. She conceived of a new layout that my wife and I never would have envisioned, and we love it. We feel like we are living in a new house now. Finally, and just as importantly, Thais brings an enthusiasm to her work that is wonderful. Thais has a holistic vision of design, and her enjoyment in realizing it for people’s living space is evident from the moment you sit down with her. I highly recommend Thais and ElementAire Design.”

  • Guy-Thomas B.
    Entrepreneur / Home Owner

    “Thaís and her team were quickly able to understand and refine the vision for my home and oversaw all aspects of the renovation from end to end. Working with them was a totally seamless experience. I could not have asked for a more professional and friendly team to work with. I would highly recommend working with ElementAire Design!”

  • Gilberto L.
    Wellness Center Developer

    “When we decided to create a wellness center, we met with Thaís and the ElementAire team. We fell in love with the project proposed by her. We challenged her creativity and technique, and the results were above our expectations. She spared no effort to guarantee our satisfaction with the quality of all services performed. She was attentive to new trends and innovative techniques. She was tireless in understanding our needs to offer the best solution in every detail of this project.”

  • Jorge T.
    Real Estate Broker / Home Owner

    “The natural light was what enchanted me the most when choosing the apartment. I confess that I had no idea how to use the existing spaces. When I decided to make it my home, I was extremely happy to see the work of ElementAire, that soon understood what I wanted. The solutions found made the apartment functional and the spaces for circulation very comfortable. Thaís is extremely committed, organized, and has a lot of technical knowledge. In addition to all that, she has a great spirit. I highly recommend her work.”

  • Anu R. & Patrick O.
    Home Owners

    “As first time expecting parents, we initially felt quite overwhelmed with all the planning and preparation for the arrival of our little one — setting up the nursery and ensuring we had considered all our needs was a big part of it. Thais and her team were incredibly helpful in making this a manageable and an enjoyable experience for us! From the initial consultation to brainstorming specific elements of the space, Thais provided not only professional expertise on design challenges but thoughtful and often personally considered guidance to make our nursery truly bespoke — a safe and efficient space for multiple functionality. Working with Thais was truly a pleasure and we highly recommend her services!!”
