Designers launch firm after transforming a Queens townhouse

In November 2024, Erica Sellers and her friend Jeremy Silberberg collaborated on the renovation of a townhouse located in Ridgewood, Queens. Initially, Sellers aimed to create a personal residence, but during their exploration of the space, they both recognized their dissatisfaction with their current jobs. This realization sparked an idea to embark on a more ambitious project together. They decided to transform the townhouse into a demonstration of their creative abilities, which in turn led them to establish their own design firm, Studio S II. The renovation is meant to evoke a sense of being in an alternate world, emphasizing their unique design vision.
