Loft Apartment

A view of the open-plan living and dining areas.

The Tenore 240 by Element4, can be enjoyed on either side of the wall in this Tribeca Loft.

A galley kitchen incorporates steel string shelving and carries our couple's cooking & entertaining through to the dining space with a smooth and masculine walnut credenza. Overhead wood and metal shelves openly display a sophisticated collection of Hasami porcelain plates and mugs.

A double height floor-to-ceiling window allows light to pour in through the living room and offers magnificent views of the East River

Grasscloth in the Master Bedroom is paired with classically inspired motifs and silhouettes. The side table is from Serena & Lily, the sconce is from Vaughan and the bedding is from Williams Sonoma.

The sofa had to be large and deep enough that the couple and their dog could lay back, watch TV and enjoy the space. So, we had a sectional custom made and upholstered in a heavy duty Kravet fabric.

As a former librarian and true book lover, Williams liked the idea of storing her books in the living room. "At first, the built-in shelving we designed was more open, but the exposed books created too much visual clutter, so we added cabinet doors and kept a few open shelves to house a rotating display of our client's collection of quirky and artful artifacts," says Eng-Goetz.

Bjorndahl hoped for a great room that would feel “curated and orchestrated, much like a tailored suit.” To achieve this goal, the team used cabinetry from Elmwood Fine Cabinetry in New Haven for the kitchen, the living room, the office, and the master bath. The home’s first floor measures approximately 1,000 square feet. The dining area features a 60-inch round table from Design Within Reach and Eames molded plywood dining chairs from Workplace Resource.
