To maximize space, clever built-ins abound, from storage tucked under windows to nearly invisible sliding doors.


The kitchen was moved to the entrance foyer, opening up into an expansive eat-in area that flows seamlessly into the living room. The new kitchen also allows for a casual counter seating area that we paired with vintage stools from Modern Link.


The kitchen is a custom design by Bulthaup.The open shelving in the kitchen helps make the space feel more casual and personal and keep essentials within easy reach.


We stuck to a neutral palette. A soft grey rug, walnut bed and white linens from Matteo Home. The sconce is from Gubi.


Discreet pocket doors to the bedroom, closet and bathroom offer privacy as the apartment becomes more intimate.


We selected a 6" white oak flooring from Ebony & Co and bright white paint to modernize the space while maximizing light.
West Village, New York
We started by dividing the apartment into two zones, public and private, separated via a discreet pocket door. In the private zone, the bathroom has shifted to accommodate a new dressing room/walk-in closet. Meanwhile, the kitchen has moved to the entrance foyer, opening up into an expansive eat-in area that flows seamlessly into the living room.
The entrance leads to a loft-like public space with an open Bulthaup kitchen and living room. Discreet pocket doors to the bedroom, closet and bathroom offer privacy as the apartment becomes more intimate.
Once rigid and retro, the apartment is now a flexible, modern space – a personal haven that’s equally welcoming to family and friends.
