Although white walls were essential to the apartment’s stylish, austere look, we found moments to temper that white, not with paint color, but with cladding: limestone in the shower of the master bath, chevron-patterned tile that turns from bathroom wall to floor, wood that wraps the walls of the master bedding.

Central Park West Duplex
In this complete apartment renovation, we combined multiple units to create a sanctuary for a growing family above the canopy of Central Park. Here, ribbed walnut paneling connects the kitchen space to a light-filled breakfast nook, and adds warmth and texture to both, while the marble of the wall, counter, and floating bar lends a classic grandeur.
Central Park Tower
This luxury high-rise apartment’s most impressive feature—the impossibly stunning view north toward Central Park through an expanse of glass—is also its greatest challenge for a designer. How to keep the view from dominating and dwarfing the space and its occupants? We decided on a custom mill piece that uses backlighting, texture, and depth to bring the living room back down to human scale and infuse it with warmth, taming the height of the ceilings and the chill of the glass.
Union Square Loft
Turning this high-ceilinged, exposed-pipe space into an elegant apartment amounted to choosing just the right touches of domesticity and luxury. Our approach is perfectly expressed by our treatment of the kitchen walls, where we left the industrial brick intact, but painted it white and dressed the lower half in wainscoting. An essay in grays, the kitchen is the focal point of this loft, which retains its industrial austerity with visible bones and monochromatic design. Yet with subtle brasswork and detailing, the room — and the apartment as a whole — shimmers with life.
