Created as a commissioned interior design project for a Tribeca residence, this home was designed to feel connected to the distinctive character of Lower Manhattan and the landmark buildings visible from nearly every room. The clients wanted a classic interior with an unexpected edge—one that acknowledged the neighborhood’s Golden Age architecture while still feeling contemporary, personal, and appropriate for modern family life.
Art Deco influences appear throughout the residence in the lighting, vanity detailing, decorative finishes, and custom furnishings. Rather than recreating an Art Deco interior, these references were used selectively to give the home a sense of history, glamour, and identity.
The primary suite was conceived as a romantic private retreat centered around a custom bed with an oversized tufted wall headboard. A connecting dressing area and morning bar create a graceful transition between the bedroom and bathroom, allowing the suite to function as a complete sequence of private spaces. The bathroom continues the Deco influence through a ribbed floating vanity, sculptural lighting, and a freestanding soaking tub.
In the living room parlor, the clients’ personal artwork was arranged as a gallery above a wall-to-wall black onyx quartz fireplace, creating a strong focal point without competing with the view toward One World Trade Center and the adjoining terrace.
The home office was designed with a darker, more masculine character. An updated coffered ceiling brings depth and distinction to the room, while a large contemporary artwork anchors the desk wall between built-in bookcases. Opposite the desk, a full wall of library shelving gives the office the scale and presence of an executive study while remaining visually connected to the rest of the residence.
The teen daughter’s bedroom was designed with the same level of individuality, balancing sophistication with a more youthful point of view. Throughout the home, custom millwork, expressive materials, strong silhouettes, and carefully placed historical references create an interior that feels rooted in Tribeca while remaining entirely personal to the family.
