Upper West Side Apartment

The ambition for this well-appointed new build was to give it some character. It had good bones, including herringbone floors and a solid Smallbone kitchen, and great views—panoramic, really—but lacked the personality of the owner’s country house in Washington, Connecticut.

Through a considered mixture of American mid-century furniture, chosen for its human proportions, and a strict, graphic color palette of neutrals and rust, a casual yet elegant home was created, one well suited to entertaining.
