Pied a Terre on Union Square

The design challenge set by Dale’s client, a stylish couple wishing to re-occupy a city apartment after raising children in the suburbs, was to transform a one bedroom developer apartment into a chic Pied-a Terre. The apartment while small in footprint was poised to be large in impact. Each design element was selected with care and deployed with artful precision, allowing the space to be both efficient and elegant.

Throughout the design process Ms. Cohen encouraged her client to collect art for the new space. This was a bold new endeavor has paid a beautiful dividend. Together designer and client began selected from art fairs and galleries training the client’s palette. Each piece was then placed, adding the final layer to creating a truly beautiful home. The husband had not seen the apartment during the renovation and decorative installation. Upon waking the first morning he spent in the apartment he remarked “it’s like checking into the Four Seasons and not having to check out.”
