Beekman Place Apartment

Our client inherited this pied-à-terre apartment on Beekman Place, along with an important collection of fine art and furniture. The apartment is located in an elegant riverfront building developed in 1930 by the Rockefeller family. Spectacular views of the East River, the 59th Street Bridge, and beyond provide a dynamic balance to the art and decoration

Throughout the apartment, the subtle but noteworthy play of pattern unifies the space, creating enough decorative support to complete the interiors without competing with the works of art. We achieved this by furnishing fabrics, carpet, and, in the principal rooms, Pierre Finklestein’s strié paint work, whose textures are so fine they are imperceptible until closely examined. The living room features pieces from the clients' important collection of art, including the large Rothko seen over the console.
