This Manhattan apartment exemplifies how thoughtful design can evolve with a client's life journey. What began as a bachelor pad eventually transformed as the client married and started a family, with each phase maintaining a cohesive design narrative.
West Village Apartment

Evolving Elegance in a Pre-War Manhattan Home
A custom entryway bench-closet hybrid maximizes functionality while serving as a beautiful furniture piece, while a mechanized end table with a lift-up tray (inspired by airline tray tables) showcases our commitment to personalized, unexpected details.
When the opportunity arose to incorporate a common-area hallway into the apartment, we embraced the pre-war building's unusual corners and angles with innovative solutions.
We maintained a muted palette but introduced textural variety through grasscloth wallpaper, custom millwork with plaster finish, and bathrooms featuring natural materials that create perfect contrast.
Every room features custom cabinetry, including the primary bedroom where we integrated a former closet to create an airier feel. The clients' satisfaction led to subsequent projects, including their primary residence in Sands Point—a testament to our enduring client relationships.
The apartment's rectilinear layout required strategic interventions to create a sense of spaciousness while providing maximum storage.
