West Chelsea Apartment

Our goal in this interior design and architectural project was to juxtapose a significant contemporary art collection with a riff on a traditional interior, one more typical of Park Avenue than Chelsea. As a balance to the minimalist gallery spaces, the apartment’s herringbone wood floors, ornate fireplace, and flowing window treatments create a world that is about living with art rather than mere exhibition. The apartment sits above newly-built and active commercial space and intentionally remains distinct from it in personality and tone. All the rooms, as well as the exterior spaces, were conceived as locations for ever-changing art installations. Originally completed in 2007, we redesigned the interiors in 2016.
