NYC Loft
The building that houses this prewar SoHo loft was originally a 1930’s printing press. 18’ solid concrete ceilings and massive pillars make it easy to imagine its former incarnation. The aim here was to embrace these vestiges of a bygone era with an overall design that enhanced the industrial provenance of the space. Traditional lofts of this kind (no interior doors!)pose a unique challenge: to create individual “rooms” that feel both distinctive and part of a unified design aesthetic.
The vintage iron pot rack, suspended from the ceiling by two 6’ long industrial chains, holds a collection of burnished copper cookware, which — along with the polished birch of the kitchen cabinets — lends warmth to the space.
147 Sullivan Street, NYC
Known as a micro-apartment, this one -bedroom in the heart of SoHo boasts a mere 300 sq. feet of charm. Half of that belongs to the bedroom; the rest, to one 12’x12’ living/dining/ kitchen space and a tiny bath. The client was moving from London with nothing more than the clothes on her back. The mission was to tastefully furnish the entirety of this apartment (including kitchen utensils, dishes, mattress, towels and bedding, cookware — literally, EVERY SINGLE THING needed to live) for no more than $10,000. The challenge was irresistible. Mission accomplished.
Twin Girls’ Bedroom
One of the most fun aspects of interior design is creating spaces for kids — and then redesigning them to accommodate their evolving identities and interests. The idea for this pink and grey nursery was hatched when these twin girls were in utero. The room is oddly shaped, with a dropped ceiling, so using the space for maximum functionality was key. When the girls entered kindergarten, we transformed the space again — this time, in sunflower yellow and grey (see below) — to reflect their needs as young students and burgeoning sophisticates. We look forward to coming back to the job when they are teenagers.
Boy’s Bedroom
This boy’s interests at 8, when we first designed this bright blue room, were superheroes, Nintendo and graphic novels. Needless to say, at 15, he was ready to move into a room that reflected a more mature outlook. We then set out to design a moody space (below) that would provide a cozy lair through high school, be a comfortable place to come home to while in college, and at some point in the future, transition rather seamlessly into a guest room for his parents.
