This vacation apartment accommodates three generations of a large family. To this end, a one bedroom apartment was converted into a two bedroom apartment. The existing kitchen is now a children’s guest room. The dining room became a kitchen. With flexibility in mind, the master bedroom sleeps a couple or two siblings while the living room sofa folds out for the extra grand children. An open dining room, kitchen and living room makes the most of holiday gatherings. Custom millwork in the living room stores while serving as end tables for the seating group. It is truly a warm weather refuge for a New York family.
The real secret is that it was all done on a budget. This mix of high/low custom and retail is executed with smart planning, durable finishes, elegant details and exhuberant style.
FLOAT Halo is a modern interpretation of the classic chandelier. The fixture is hand made to order by local artisans and craftspeople.
In this version, the gold leaf is applied by a local artist. Hardware is plated with 24K Gold and hand polished. The half etched bulbs are custom sandblasted for us to achieve a combination of diffuse and direct light.
