Manhattan Loft

Located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, this renovated loft has a view over the Museum of Natural History to Central Park. Two small apartments were combined into one, creating open spaces that flow seamlessly into one another.

The island counter top resembles an abstract reclining figure (above).

Random width old growth pine flooring is combined with an irregular stone hearth and rough stone bookcase tops.  This stone was selected for its similarities to the rock outcroppings in nearby Central Park

Furniture & Interior Design

The interior design features custom designed sofas and rugs combined with vintage and modern pieces.  Prototypes of the "Otter" cocktail table and "Tulip" table can be seen in the photos above right, above left, and below right.

Custom Kitchen

The kitchen island contains a built-in oven, wine refrigerator and microwave.  One end of the island is rounded, with a custom-made half-circle cabinet door that opens to reveal a small trash bin with storage shelves below.  The eye-shaped opening in the counter top will house a glass lid that can be removed to drop trash into the bin below.  The maple island, cherry dining and walnut bar tops are finished with high-gloss polyurethane.

The East wall, not subject to preservation regulations, was completely opened up with fixed and operable windows to take advantage of the view.
