Westfield is one of Union County's most consistently admired communities — a town with a strong sense of its own residential identity, a walkable downtown that functions as a genuine neighborhood center, and a housing market that has attracted significant reinvestment from buyers committed to staying. YZDA, headquartered in Short Hills and serving clients across northern and central New Jersey, brings to Westfield a design practice defined by depth of engagement rather than speed of execution. Principal designer Satomi Yoshida-Katz and the studio team are known for taking time with the discovery phase of each project — understanding family routines, material preferences, and the way different rooms function at different times of day — before any design direction is committed to. The result is work that holds up over years rather than seasons, and that reflects the people who live in it rather than the moment it was designed.

Designing in Westfield
Westfield's residential fabric is anchored by a core of late-Victorian and early-twentieth-century homes within easy walking distance of the downtown, spreading outward into larger Colonial and Tudor properties on the town's western and southern edges. Many of the homes near the train station corridor are among the most architecturally detailed in Union County, with original woodwork, period tiling, and built-in cabinetry that serious renovation clients work to preserve and complement rather than remove. The scale of these homes — generous rooms, high ceilings, layered entryways — rewards the kind of considered, material-rich interior approach that YZDA is known for.
