Dining Room

The black steel A110 pendants by Alvar Aalto match the Poliform ventilation hood and ebonized white oak cabinets by Leicht Haus. LED lighting is integrated into the island shelving. The drawers underneath are handleless and open electronically by touch using a servo drive.

In the master bathroom, a freestanding Waterworks tub is paired with a Fantini fixture. Calacatta marble surrounds the shower; the flooring is Evolution ceramic tile from Apavisa.

A photo of the double vanity in the children's bathroom. The vanity was custom made from Corian with Scola sinks from Duravit and one of our favorite faucets from Vola designed by Arne Jacobsen. The inset panels are natural cork with a wax finish.

Roof garden - skylight in closed position.

The upper landing in the White Street Residence provides a pausing point when going to and from the roof garden. A walnut bookshelf, an extension of the walnut knee wall below stores a collection of the owner's art books. The large circular window which overlooks the roof garden can be seen in the background. A vintage Grasshopper floor lamp by Greta Grossman provides reading light while relaxing in the Eames 670 lounge chair.

Afternoon sunlight filters through the steel windows in this view looking toward the children's playroom. In all of our projects we design the lighting specific to our client's artwork. Here one of our favorites an LED Bevel tape-in fixture by USA Iluminations highlights a beautiful painting, c. 1900, of a cowboy.

An overall photo of the master bath. As this room was part of the penthouse addition we were able to take advantage of the new roof by adding circular skylights which allow natural daylight into this interior space. Here the ceiling has a skylight above the far wall and also above the Duravit Happy D bathtub. You can lay back in the tub and look out to the sky. We added incandescent lighting with one of our all time favorite fixtures by Arne Jacobsen & Louis Poulsen. These fixtures also complement the circular skylights. The wall tile is the wonderful texture and color of Heath Ceramics - another great company

A view from the stair landing looking toward the dining and kitchen areas. The home office / guest room and the hallway to the living room are in the background. We had a great experience with the very talented team at Lindsey Adelman Studios who designed the Branch chandelier on site with a mockup before finalizing the design. This photo also highlights the beautiful select grade American black walnut floor supplied by LV Wood which was sanded and finished on site. The floor is plain sawn, our go to for walnut flooring. It also has no sap wood a specific request by our client.

An overall photo of the kitchen with the Bernd and Hilla Becher photograph series on the right. The drum skylight can be seen above and in the foreground are branches of a Lindsey Adelman pendant which hangs over the dining table.

A side view of the Corian vanity with fold-up shelf. There is a routed pull that allows you to gain purchase to raise the shelf. The GFCI outlet, located in the niche, is accessed when in the up position & when not in use the shelf folds down and nests into the niche allowing it to sit flush with the vanity side.

One of the details you can see throughout all of our projects is the concealment of the electrical outlets for the countertop appliances. This is accomplished by routing a GFCI outlet strip into the underside of the upper cabinetry. The detail keeps the tile free of duplex receptacles allowing the beauty of the backsplash to read uninterrupted. The kitchen backsplash is Calacatta mosaic tile - a splurge in an otherwise tight construction budget.

A three-quarter view of the kitchen and breakfast area. The lower seating area countertop is Glacier White Corian and the upper counter is Atlantic Bluestone. The chairs are vintage and reupholstered in Brushed Merino Sprig by Maharam.
