E26: SugarHouse - The Creative Minds Behind Cult Gaia’s Flagship Stores in NYC and Miami

Sugarhouse is a full-scale New York City-based architecture and interior design firm founded by Principals Jess and Jonathan Nahon in 2016. Working on residential, hospitality, commercial and retail in the US and internationally, the firm has successfully executed a wide variety of projects from private residences to the most exclusive hotels and fashion houses.
Striving to create a balanced and approachable studio focused on holistic design, Sugarhouse puts equal emphasis on architecture, interior and landscape design. The firm surveys each project from a singular viewpoint to ensure that the design is contextual, original and portrays an architectural story unique to the client and setting. With the ultimate goal of beautiful design that is also functional, the designers tailor each space to meet a client’s needs, individual perspectives and budgets. As a husband and wife team, Jess and Jonathan’s process derives from a heavily collaborative place, which extends to their clients and each team member engaged on a project.
Sugarhouse works on projects in the US and internationally. Clients include: YSL, Cult Gaia, Space NK, Helmut Lang, Theory, J Brand, Comptoir Des Cotonniers, Tory Burch, Misha Nonoo, Purificacion Gracia, La Mer, Osswald Parfumerie, KREWE, Veronica Beard, Soho House, The Ned, The Hoxton Hotels, Ralph Lauren and many others.
Prior to founding Sugarhouse, Jess Nahon received a Master of Architecture from Savannah College of Art and Design and led Soho House as the Director of Architecture and Design. Jonathan Nahon earned a Master of Architecture from The Pratt Institute. He worked in-house as an architect and designer at Ralph Lauren and also worked for a number of architecture and design firms.
