The Connecticut house also features another staircase by the front door. "The front stair has closed risers; it’s a continuous surface of ash," Gray says. "That’s because it’s the front stair and the main entry—we didn’t want to see through that stair. We wanted to have people go around it to get in the house."

Architect Greg Dufner carefully devised his own Greenwich Village apartment's interior; he used multiple strategies to carve several spaces within its single main room. He says "I think our main take away when designing a small space has always been 'creative built-ins.'  This means eliminating sheet rock walls when possible and creating built-in cabinetry as room dividers.  It also means, there is no such thing as 'left over space.' Every space should be built-out with custom sized built-ins to maximize storage. It's like detailing a luxury yacht."

In the living room, Svenson opted for wide-plank ash floors and a fireplace from Malm. The room connects to the screened-in porch (accessed by folding doors) and has a view of the split-levels above. The jagged bridge leads to the residents' writing studios. "I wanted something that feels a little scary, that gives you energy when you walk across it," says Svenson.
