Manhattan Residences Completed
14 MAY 2012 – We recently completed two New York City residences: one on the Upper West Side in the Eldorado, a luxurious and elegant pre-war building; the other in a new building in the West Village.
The uptown apartment is owned by a couple who are arts activists and philanthropists. Their collection encompasses cutting edge works in painting, drawing, photography and sculpture. We designed a soft palette of furnishings in fine pale fabrics and classic bold shapes to subtly echo the collection. The result is a modern experience that still exudes warmth, comfort, and elegance while serving as a backdrop to the artwork.
Downtown, we designed a 3,700 sf duplex loft that is home to a family of four, including two small children. The loft is reminiscent of the couple’s roots in India, with rich rosewood details and a bright peacock backsplash in the kitchen. These bold moves are juxtaposed against a combination of muted and saturated color to create an ambiance that is both serene and playful. In the living room, natural daylight plays upon the various tones and textures, signifying clear cultural cues while serving as a beacon of urban sophistication.
