West End Avenue Apartment

Designed for a prominent New York City-based fitness mogul and her family, this chic, modern apartment renovation strives for simplicity. The spatial organization is clear, open and flexible; the materials are subdued; and details are meticulously precise and restrained. The architecture becomes a bright, gallery-esque backdrop for the owners' bold furnishings and artwork. Whereas the vibrantly furnished communal spaces and bedrooms are expressive and flashy, the bathrooms—and especially the master bathroom—are designed to evoke tranquility, offering spa-like respite from the bustle of the Manhattan lifestyle. This project is preoccupied primarily with efficient use of space (which is critical for any Manhattan dwelling), particularly by employing built-in storage throughout as integral architectural expressions. Care is taken to imbue sophisticated refinement, and a sense of dialogue is achieved between the beautiful, raw industrial character of the building’s original steel structure, now exposed, and the modern palette implemented during the renovation.
