For this apartment — our third project for this owner — we were given the charge to create an update on a classic, pre-war New York apartment in an open space with no walls. Given an extraordinary setting overlooking Central Park, we made a large, central space for Living, Dining, and Library, and recreated the moldings from the owner’s then current living spaces. We used this classic detailing throughout the modern plan which gave long views through the apartment and out to the park. Modern elements such as framed glass walls and polished tiles and stone bring light deep into the apartment.
