In a short time, he developed a clean, tailored and still highly sought-after style – a bit of the 70s (mirror, chrome, color) and a bit of a century old (Biedermeier this, Gustavien that). Each project comes with a soundtrack, as it compiles songs to set the mood. “It’s all about the atmosphere,” notes Jett, whose current projects range from a Brooklyn brownstone (pictured) to a house in the Berkshires. “I’ve always been drawn to drama and theater, being transported.” jettprojects.com —Sam Cochran
