Upper East Side, NY

A Contemporary Pied-à-Térre Reimagined

When Lane first crossed the threshold, she knew the story of the apartment was just beginning.


In this pre-war traditional space, original moldings, generous proportions, and natural light created the perfect foundation for a modern reinterpretation. The transformation began with a vision to honor the apartment’s history while infusing it with contemporary character.

The Starting Point

Before

Knotted Linen, Hand-Cast Nickel, Polished Stone

Why these textures matter to the narrative: These textures were chosen to subtly layer history, luxury, and intimacy into the space. Soft fabrics and matte finishes create a sense of warmth and approachability, while polished stone and metallic accents add refinement. The interplay of these tactile elements tells a story of modern elegance rooted in timeless New York sophistication—making every surface part of the home’s narrative.

Curating the Material Story


Modern Meets Timeless

We wove smooth resin, faux fur, and glass into the fabric of the design, introducing contemporary elements without disrupting the apartment’s classic soul.

This is a home, not a showpiece—crafted to be lived in, loved, and shared. Plush textures meet clean lines to create an environment of quiet sophistication.
