This apartment was designed to showcase the clients wonderfully diverse art collection.

The custom millwork center piece holds a collection of Tang Dynasty Chinese sculpture on floating shelves.


  The glass shelves cantilever from lacquered panels in three colors chosen to complement the delicate colors of the ceramic statues.  Two walls are covered by the Mondrian-like arrangement of glossy panels in a formerly awkward edge of the loft like space.  The seamless closet doors integrate the entire wall surface.  The focus is entirely on the art.

Paintings by contemporary Japanese Artist Tomokazu Matsuyama hang in the Living Room and Bedroom.

The brass crocodiles came from a Parisian garden.
