A classic Art Deco apartment reimagined for modern life. This project began with a deep respect for the building’s original character, blending its heritage with a new sense of clarity, comfort, and everyday functionality.

​

We reconfigured the layout to introduce a formal entry and improve flow between the kitchen and living spaces — a subtle architectural move that now defines the apartment’s welcoming tone. The kitchen was opened to feel connected and generous, while the bathroom was thoughtfully redesigned to allow for a large, luxurious shower — a quiet upgrade that brings ease to daily routines.

​

Materiality was key in celebrating the apartment’s roots. In the kitchen, Carrara and Nero Marquina marble tiles were antiqued and laid in a checkered pattern — offering an old-world touch with enduring appeal. A hand-laid mosaic in the entry sets a considered tone, while European oak floorboards in the living and bedroom areas add softness and warmth.

​

The atmosphere draws from a Ralph Lauren sensibility and the enduring elegance of pre-war New York apartments — warm, collected, and grounded in tradition. A deep green kitchen with a built-in library ladder becomes the heart of the home, balanced by a custom dining banquette that invites slow mornings and long dinners. The palette and detailing feel tailored yet relaxed, layered with new and antique pieces that bring depth and character.

​

What made this project especially rewarding was the interplay between eras — pairing vintage finds with contemporary forms to tell a story that feels uniquely personal.

​

Our goal is never to impose a particular style, but to create a home that reflects your life, your rituals, and your sense of belonging — a space that’s entirely yours.
