Fifth Avenue Art House

New York City
The apartment was a floor thru in its original layout with no natural flow to the rooms. We blew the dust off and started fresh by dividing the space into living zones using millwork feature walls, custom metal and glass vitrines, concealed doors and passages and reconfigured the main room into a long open loft like gallery.

The softness of the material selection helps create a…

New York City
This three bedroom apartment high in a new glass tower needed a strong aesthetic reference and a reshuffling of space.

We embellished the gracious entry and opened up what was once a series of formal rooms. The new plan helped set the tone for a more relaxed and casual lifestyle. The interiors are filled with vibrant tropical hues and clean modern furniture forms. Each room flows seamlessly…
