New York

A contemporary Manhattan pied-à-terre was transformed into a refined urban sanctuary by layering soft neutrals, tactile materials and sculptural lighting to balance the apartment’s compact footprint with generous style; bespoke millwork conceals storage and integrates a compact galley into an open-plan living area, a statement marble fireplace anchors the space while warm walnut floors and hand-loomed rugs add depth, and strategically placed mirrors and recessed lighting amplify natural light from the high-rise windows—subtle brass accents and curated art pieces bring personality without clutter, resulting in a serene, highly functional retreat that feels distinctly New York yet quietly elegant.
