ELGOT FINDS “CLEAN AND CONTEMPORARY” NOW MOST-SELECTED DESIGN BY MANHATTANITES Clean and contemporary, now considered a classic design, is the most requested kitchen style in Manhattan, says Ellen Elias, Owner of Elgot, a family-run business that has been designing and installing New York kitchens and baths since 1945. Elgot features a wide variety of cabinetry from high-quality manufacturers including Craft-Maid, Ultracraft, and Canada’s Irpinia Kitchens, capturing the very essence of today’s contemporary style. Cabinetry manufactured in North America allows Elgot to ensure quality control, reduced lead times and flexibility in design. Irpinia cabinetry (pictured here), with maximized storage always at the forefront, comes in a variety of styles with uncluttered lines –– from a traditional soft white finish to the more cutting-edge aluminum-edged doors with recessed pulls. Craft-Maid cabinetry (also shown here) features luxurious, clean designs with a flare for tradition. More clients have been requesting quartz or porcelain countertops today,” Elias adds, so Elgot offers Neolith, a thin and extremely durable porcelain slab know for even coloration that allows for longer and slimmer surfaces. Elgot’s beautifully-designed kitchens can be seen at elgotkitchens.com or in their showroom on Third Avenue (between 74th and 75th streets).

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOSHUA MCHUGH (TOP AND BOTTOM).
Moving from the icy northeastern winter to the glorious freshness of April and May is inspirational, don’t you think? The changing seasons jolt us into thoughts of renovation, refurbishing, and redecorating. Suddenly we are shaking the dust off those heavy curtains and letting the sunshine in. This issue is all about celebrating change and personal expression! This month’s Showroom Style focuses on a new shop in the Flatiron District, Homenature. It will inspire you to bring the outdoors in with their natural woods, sexy stone, and luxurious hide to feather your nest. Pick up a beautifully refinished midcentury chair and nubby natural linen pillows to lighten the mood. It’s time to declutter and edit: a place for everything, and everything in its place. International designer Jarvis Wong takes us on a tour of the newly redone “master of the universe” duplex in the ultra-hot and uber-hip Walker Tower in Chelsea, design firm D’Aquino/Monaco take on a redo of a tired east-side apartment and transform it into a chic, luxe, and functional space for a single father of two boys, and world-class architect and designer David Mann helps a New York couple downsize, by moving up…30 floors (!). Spring is here. Its time to throw open the windows, spruce up your personal space, and let your imagination run wild!

PUBLISHER’S LETTER
WHEN SPRING ARRIVES
I am reminded that we live in the most incredible city in the world. The weather starts to turn warm and suddenly the streets and outdoor cafes are buzzing! Museums, galleries, and parks are packed with smiling New Yorkers enjoying the city we love. Color is everywhere, even in our clothes. Yes that’s right, in springtime, yellow, blue, white, orange, and pink is the new black! Spring is a time of renewal, and you’ll see this throughout this issue of New York Spaces. Whether it’s for your Upper East Side apartment or your home in the country, you’ll find lots of new ideas and inspiration for design projects big and small. We’re especially excited about our special real estate section appearing in this issue. We gathered a panel of top experts and influencers to discuss the new downtown. In the stunning penthouse apartment at 75 Wall, with the backdrop of lower Manhattan stretching as far as the eye could see, we learned why people are deciding that this historic neighborhood is perfect spot to live, work, raise families, and enjoy world-class shopping and dining. We look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events, joining the conversation at our next real estate panel, or on the busy streets enjoying the weather and the many colors of this beautiful season. A big thank you to our readers and advertising partners for a successful spring. And don’t forget to be colorful!! Warm regards,
Lisa Ben-Isvy Publisher New York Spaces

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MIKIKO KIKUYAMA.
“I THINK IF THERE ARE THREE words that really embody what we are,” says founder and co-owner John Heilmann, “they would be cool, sensible, and purposeful.” Heilmann started Homenature in Southampton, 20 years ago this year. “I lived in the store. During the day I’d put a cover over the bed and put decorative objects around but occasionally someone would figure it out.” While the business was originally vintage consignment, eventually it evolved and grew to include full lines of custom furniture and bedding, as well as beautiful decorative accents for the home, all with a natural bent. Beautifully refurbished midcentury vintage is still a large component of what CONTINUED Homenature does so well.

You create your culinary masterpiece, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll clean ours. The Combi-steam oven.
The difference is Gaggenau. Creating flawless perfection can be a messy process. While our 400 series Combi-steam oven frees you to bake, braise, broil and steam, these freedoms can leave their mark inside the oven. Hence our unique, innovative cleaning system. Simply insert the cleaning cartridge and let the water do the work. The challenges others shy away from, we rise to. We introduced the Combi-steam oven to the private kitchen over 15 years ago - and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cleaning it. For more information about Gaggenau, please visit www.gaggenau-usa. com or our Gaggenau showroom in the A&D building, 150 East 58th Street, Suite 700, New York, NY 10155 or call 212.588.0950.
SHOWROOM STYLE COLOR PALETTE ABOVE LEFT: In New York, glassware and Georg Jensen silver line the walls, and a midcentury dining table and chairs take center stage. ABOVE RIGHT: The teak root coffee table brings the outdoors in. BELOW: The company's store on Pond Lane in Southampton, is going strong after 20 years. Nanna Ditzel rocking chair, wicker baskets, faux lamb stools, and ivory outdoor ottomans are perennial favorites.
Heilmann and his partner and husband, Tim DiSalvo, realized that what their customers really wanted was to have well-made and beautiful pieces that felt as though they had always been a part of their homes. And while vintage furniture stands the test of time, sometimes the scale isn’t quite right. Their own designs are riffs on classic pieces by the likes of T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings and Danish designer Finn Juhl. The company aesthetic is tightly focused on a neutral palette that highlights the warm natural feel of wood, linen, stone, and leather. Texture creates definition. Heilmann says, “Many of our customers live in open plan spaces. A neutral palette soothes and relaxes, but you don’t want it all to look the same.” Burnished teak, sheepskin, furs, agate and druzy quartz provide the visual and tactile interest. “One reason we place vintage alongside our new pieces,” Heilmann says, “is to show our clients that it can exist side-by-side with modern and it all works together.” Heilmann points to their newest offering, the Lazy Pt. Bed. “This, to me, epitomizes what we do best. It’s a nest, a sanctuary. That’s how we see the home.”

SPRING FEVER FROM QUEENS TO KIPS BAY, NEW YORK IS ABUZZ WITH HAPPENINGS, EXHIBITS, GALAS, AND FESTIVALS. PUT ON YOUR BOOGIE SHOES PRODUCED BY DE BOR AH L . MARTIN
FOREVER IN BLUE JEANS The history of denim in the United States goes back to the early 1800s and the expansion west to search for gold. The Museum at FIT explores our nearly 200-year relationship with this hardy and ubiquitous fabric, from mine workers in the 1830s, rebels without a cause in the 1950s, the counterculture 1960s, haute couture from Europe and the United States, and the innovative and highly successful Japanese denim industry. The exhibit features over 70 items, including the Comme des Garçons dress by Junya Watanabe (above). THROUGH MAY 7, SEVENTH AVENUE AT 27TH STREET,
FACTORY WORK Hong-Kong based contemporary artist Simon Birch brings his unique vision, The 14th Factory, to Wall Street. The exhibit—a collaboration between international photographers, composers, filmmakers, and urban planners—will transform the 100-year-old J.P. Morgan building. We sat down with Birch to discuss the show. Describe this exhibit in one sentence. It’s a journey through 14 installations connected by a central narrative about the cyclical expansion and contraction of empires and the rise and fall of our own lives. Why did you choose 23 Wall? The financial district has a history of liberty, wealth, and greed: the Dutch and English, slave trade, the War of Independence. The dialogue will be charged by this historic location. What do you hope people will take away? I hope they will be engaged, enlightened, exhausted, and transformed. APRIL 29–JUNE 9, 23 WALL STREET; THE14THFACTORY.COM
BOWERY BOYS Forty years ago this month, four guys with ripped jeans and a lot of attitude released their eponymous first album, and punk was born. The Ramones were the anarchic answer to disco and glitter when they burst onto the scene in a dive club on the Bowery—CBGBs. The Queens Museum, in partnership with Los Angeles’ GRAMMY Museum, launches this twopart exhibit celebrating Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, and Tommy. It will offer new perspective on the Ramones zeitgeist, concentrating on their roots in the borough, and their now-legendary influence on music, fashion, art, comics, and film.

Spring is here and there are few better places to enjoy it than the High Line. Running from Gansevoort Street to West 34th Street, the former elevated train tracks-turned promenade/public park/art gallery is the place to see and be seen, especially when the weather turns warm. In addition to ogling the luxe hi-rise buildings (check out Zaha Hadid’s curvaceously cool 28th Street creation), and 30-somethings looking for dates, the length of the walkway is dotted with contemporary art in an ever-changing display. On view through the spring, Rashid Johnson's Blocks (above, top) at Little West 12th Street, and Kerry James Marshall's mural, Above the Line (above, bottom), at West 23rd Street. ART.THEHIGHLINE.ORG

HIGH ON LOWER MANHATTAN IT’S NOT JUST SUITS AND HIGH FINANCE IN NEW YORK CITY’S OLDEST NEIGHBORHOOD ANYMORE. OUR PANEL OF TOP INFLUENCERS IS SHAPING THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT’S BIG MOMENT MODER ATED BY CATHE RINE SABINO
THE REVITALIZATION OF Lower Manhattan is changing the way New Yorkers think about what it means to live, work, and shop in the city. Here New York Spaces sits down with area power players—Andrew Breslau, Senior Vice President, Alliance for Downtown New York; Ariel Cohen, Associate Real Estate Broker, Douglas Elliman, head of sales for 75 Wall; Paige Murphy, head of Marketing, Admissions and Communications, Léman Manhattan Preparatory School; Peter Poulakakos, owner/partner at HPH, a restaurant and development company; and Michael McNaughton, Senior Vice President, US Development, Westfield World Trade Center—to talk about the area’s remarkable growth, future, and distinct new cultural vibe.

Michael McNaughton: Lower Manhattan is busy all the time—days, nights and weekends—because it is home to a fast-growing residential population, millions of tourists, and of course, a vast professional, commuting group. Paige Murphy: As a school we see what is absolutely a seven-day-a-week community. Families don't leave on the weekends. Over 80% of the families enrolled in our elementary school are residents of lower Manhattan. Peter Poulakakos: Most of our retail and restaurant operations are open seven days a week, which was unheard of in the past. NYS: Give us a sense of how things have grown. Andrew Breslau: [The population has] quintupled from 12,000 to over 60,000 in the last generation, which is an extraordinary statistic. One of the slogans we use is, ‘Come to where it all began, and where it's all beginning.’ PP: There is a massive emergence, more than in any other sub market. It's on the East Side and West Side, and above the Financial District.
And the great thing is that it's converging. PM: Our school has grown from 54 to 700 students in 10 years. NYS: How do high-end buyers in this part of Downtown differ from those in other parts of the city? PM: There’s a great international population. They likely have been educated and worked abroad, and they're really drawn to the lower Manhattan community because of that international diversity. NYS: How did you address that? PM: Léman was one of the first to pioneer private school education in lower Manhattan. As far as the international piece is concerned, we decided four years ago to embark on a process to award the international baccalaureate diploma, or IB. We chose to offer it because many of the families we serve were looking for that kind of global perspective in their children’s education. NYS: Is this part of Downtown getting international pied-à-terre money?

AB: There are foreign investors who are looking at this as a great investment opportunity. There are people who are setting up an outpost for their family from abroad. You’re also getting top tier media and ad execs thinking that this is the place they can buy a three-or four-bedroom apartment at a slight discount to some of the other luxury neighborhoods and it is a place where they can walk to work.
PETER POULAKAKOS Owner/partner, HPH Group
Beekman, each with hotel components, are debuting this year. How important are integrated amenities to the Downtown condo buyer? AB: I think Ariel can tell us the amenity game is an escalating warfare all over this city. It's great to see a pipeline of rich product like the Beekman, where you're going to have Tom Colicchio and Keith McNally doing the restaurants.
NYS: What’s your sweet spot in terms of residential sales? Ariel Cohen: One to $4 million dollars. NYS: With the stock market in flux and a softening of the luxury real estate market, how do you think residential sales and businesses in the area will be affected? AC: Fully emerged sub markets like Tribeca, for example, are going to be affected by price points. But we're still in a place where people are buying. With the slight discounting and extraordinary views it’s a great bet down here. PP: This area is thriving right now. Our businesses are doing well. NYS: 75 Wall was a pioneer as a mixed-use conversion offering hotel amenities in this part of town. 30 Park Place and 5
NYS: Is there a greater demand for outdoor space than in other parts of the city? AC: Yes, because it allows you to have the most amazing outdoor experience with the most incredible views. NYS: There's been a reduction in the FIRE (finance, insurance, real estate) businesses and a growth in the TAMI (tech, advertising, media, information) sector. How has this changed the culture of the area? AB: Dramatically. This was a monoculture 25 years ago, it was all financial services. What we've added is advertising, publishing. The culture on the street is a lot hipper and a lot younger. You can feel it in the pulse of the street, and that's an exciting thing. CONTINUED N E W YO R K S PAC E S . CO M

“WITH THE SLIGHT DISCOUNTING AND EXTRAORDINARY VIEWS, IT’S A GREAT BET DOWN HERE [IN THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT].” – ARIEL COHEN
NYS: How does Brooklyn compete with you for the TAMIs and Millennials with residential and office space? AB: Commercially, it's a very different order of scale. The amount of what’s available down here dwarfs what's available in Brooklyn. Residentially, people like Ariel’s clients, for example, are at a stage of life where they're starting families or beginning to do really well in their careers, so they can afford a seven-figure apartment. NYS: Who are retailers catering to here—the tourist, worker, or resident? AB: River to river, you have Brookfield, Westfield, Howard Hughes over on the other side, and the Seaport. In addition look what’s happening on lower Broadway. The retail options are serving the 60-some thousand people who live here, the 300-plus thousand people who work here, and the 14.5 million tourists who come here. The spending power of those conglomerated audiences is extraordinary. 60

AB: They're trying to augment a slightly different experience than Brookfield. You've got 50,000 commuters coming every morning and every night, [that’s] guaranteed foot traffic through those stores. MM: Design is going to be an exceptional part of the Westfield World Trade Center experience. Of course, that includes the Santiago Calatrava Oculus—an architectural marvel inside and out. NYS: With the influx of people buying properties, you would think there would be an increased demand for interior design options. AC: This is one of the reasons why 75 Wall has partnered with Ligne Roset. They're doing our models and our common spaces, but Ligne Roset can also furnish a buyer’s apartment. NYS: What do you predict for the area’s water development in the next 10 years? AB: The challenge of resiliency is one we're going to have to take a lead on. Sandy was an awful thing, but it was a very powerful wake-up call. You’re seeing responses on the national and local levels, thinking about ways to preserve the harbor and preserve this economic engine of not only New York City, but the region as well.

BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN NEW YORK CITY is often referred to as a concrete jungle, but it is also home to a hotbed of urban horticulture. Founded in 1910 on a turn-of-the-century ash dump, the now 52-acre Brooklyn Botanic Garden has far surpassed its rustic beginnings and encompasses a wide-breadth of specialty gardens, world-class conservatories, and plant collections that attract over 800,000 visitors a year. One of the oldest and most popular attractions—the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden designed by Takeo Shiota in 1915— is famous for its winding paths, wooden bridges, pond, and Shinto shrine.
THINGS TO DO

MICRO LIVING: MACRO LIFE CARMEL PLACE IS A NEW APPROACH TO LIFE IN GOTHAM
NEW YORK CITY living is not for the faint of heart. First of all you have to find a place in a highly competitive market. And then there’s the cost. And the square footage. And the view, and the light, or lack thereof. What about location? Do you try to find something near work? Do you attack the boroughs? And then there is that dreaded word: roommate. The picture can seem pretty bleak. Enter Carmel Place, a nine-story, 55-unit, micro-apartment building in Kips Bay. Yes, you read that correctly: micro apartments. The modular units (assembled at the Brooklyn Navy Yards) range from 265 to 302 square feet, and as Tobias Oriwol, the project developer says, “302 square feet is 302 usable square feet.” Designed by nArchitects and built in partnership with Monadnock Development, the furnished apartments are outfitted with space-saving furniture by Resource Furniture. The bed folds into the wall (this isn’t your mother’s Murphy bed), the table folds out to accommodate 10(!) dinner guests. Cabinets and closets are built in, and kitchen storage is maximized both above counter and below. The units are fully accessible, so there are no tiny hallways or miniature bathrooms here. Eric Bunge, principle of nArchitects says, “The main room is 250 square feet, but when the bed is down it’s a 250 square foot bedroom. When the table is out it’s a 250 square foot dining room, and when the living room is in use you have a 250 square foot living room.” Everything folds away, making the apartment feel much more spacious than CONTINUED

it actually is. Adding to the feeling of expansiveness are the 9'6" ceilings and the sliding glass doors with Juliet balconies in each unit. The line of sight is open and inviting. Each apartment comes with an amenity package provided by Stage 3 Properties/Ollie. Christopher Bledsoe, principle at Stage 3 says, “what you are giving up in square footage, we are giving back in time.” Everything from a butler, to Wi-Fi and cable, to a customized interior design package, is provided for you once you move in. Need a prescription picked up? Or dry cleaning? Do your shoes need to be resoled? Ollie is there. The public spaces of Carmel Place are as important as the private. The building is equipped with large rooms for social interaction, dens for game night, a gym, a rooftop deck area, and storage rooms and laundry in the basement. In addition, small corners and nooks will be utilized as comfy meeting areas or places to curl up with a book. Says Bunge, “Everyone needs their privacy but let’s face it, living in New York is also about human interaction. Our hope is that this will be a community where people will interact and live in both the public spaces and private.” SEE RESOURCES

WALKER TOWER, DESIGNED by Ralph Thomas Walker in 1929 for The New York Telephone Company, has long dominated the Chelsea skyline. Since 2012, when developer Michael Stern purchased the building and converted the upper floors to luxury apartments, it has also dominated the residential real estate market. Jarvis Wong came in on the ground floor, quite literally. “I did the model apartment and the lobby for Michael,” says Wong, “and then I moved on to other things.” After running into the developer on the street, Wong found himself with a new project: Stern’s own duplex apartment in the ultra-hot “telephone building.” “The building has an uptown pedigree of Neo-classical and Art Deco design, but also has the energy of Chelsea,” says Wong. “I wanted to reflect that in the design of this apartment.” The centerpiece of the expansive and lightfilled space is the view. Wong created intimate seating areas anchored by an architectural JarvisStudio custom rug and a color palette that is at once glamorous, modern, and vibrant. “The seating areas encourage movement and intimacy and allow complete access to the view. When opened fully the terrace doors create a feeling of outdoor living.” Wong’s approach was to mix architectural elements with touches of fashion glamour.

The space is both intimate and grand. The private rooms are equally luxurious. In the family room on the first floor the B&B Italia sofa is expansive, and the back wall is lined with bookshelves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I call it the Los Angeles room because the colors are sunny and warm.â&#x20AC;? The master suite on the second floor incorporates elegant textures and finishes: a leather wall serves as a massive headboard for the custom platform bed, upholstered in fabric by Pierre Frey. From the bed one can gaze north to the Empire State Building, or south to One World CONTINUED Trade Center.

The “master of the universe” bath was the one architectural change made to the original space. Divided into two rooms and lined with complex marble tile work, it is a place to escape the stresses of the day. From the Waterworks tub there is an unobstructed view of lower Manhattan. In the anterior room, silver leaf, nickel accents, mirrors, and Sequoia brown marble complete the luxury spa feel of the space. The unifying design theme? Function and luxury with touches of intimate, casual glamour. “The challenge here was to make this space livable for a young family, yet elegant and luxurious for entertaining,” says Wong. Mission accomplished. SEE RESOURCES

ZEN MASTERPIECE The living area, set off by the matte black wall and contrasting custom sofas in fabric by Larsen, and aubergine accent pillows—with fabrics by Manuel Canovas and Scalamandre—is an elegant and urbane space. In the corner, a hanging “waterfall of fish,” as Mann calls it, was designed for the space by sculptor Pamela Sunday. Midcentury and new pieces live side-by-side in this inviting room. The Taccia table lamp by Achille Castiglioni sits on a custom limestone waterfall table by Stone Source. The centerpiece of the room is a painting commissioned by the homeowners from Santa Fe artist, Johnnie Winona Ross, and has 40 layers of white-on-white paint.

WHEN DARIA AND MITCHELL SCHRAGE wanted to downsize after their sons moved out of their 14th floor, Upper East Side apartment, they contacted their friend, architect and designer David Mann. “Originally they wanted to be closer to Central Park,” says Mann, “but I convinced them that where they were was perfect.” The post-war building had great bones, and Mann was convinced that they would be happy there. “The lobby is high-1970s design with travertine, wood, and a beautiful chandelier. And while you don’t have the soaring ceilings you find in pre-war apartments, what you do have is solid construction and the casual elegance that defined that period.” “We wanted to scale down,” says Mitchell, “and for us that meant moving up.” Up, as in all the way up, to the penthouse. Smaller than their existing apartment, but with massive views in every direction, it was perfect. “The original owners had it since 1974. It was untouched, but it was the perfect size,” Daria says. Mann adds, “The views are among the best I’ve seen.” Mann gutted the apartment and transformed it into a jewel on the 45th floor. “We pushed and pulled until it was exactly right. We painted certain walls black so it’s hard to distinguish where they are, especially at night. They seem to disappear.” Furnishings are done in whites and neutrals, with rich aubergine in accents such as pillows and cushions. “I got a gift from Asprey and the color of the box inspired that choice,” Daria says. The art in the apartment completes the Zen aesthetic. Says Daria; “We wanted it to be environmentally part of the space, to be very soothing and calming.” In the entry, a piece by Nancy Lawrence CONTINUED takes center stage and sets the mood.
MAKING AN ENTRANCE THIS PAGE: “It was very important that the art feel calming and soothing,” says homeowner Daria Schrage. A black and white painting by Leora Armstrong presides over midcentury pottery on a custom bronzed-steel console table. OPPOSITE: In the entry an enormous painting by Nancy Lawrence incorporates mother-of-pearl inlay and seven layers of traditional Japanese lacquer.

Carved, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and then covered with seven layers of lacquer, the piece shimmers. While most of the apartment is high contrast black and white, the family room is done in taupe. “It’s the most inviting and embracing spot. It’s where we go all the time,” says Daria. Although the public rooms are open plan, the family room can be closed off with a series of folding screens for privacy when their sons visit. Recently, Daria had to spend five weeks housebound with an injured foot, and she says, “I fell in love with the comfort and serenity of the space all over again.” SEE RESOURCES
COMFORT STATION THIS PAGE: The family room, done in taupe neutrals, is “the most comfortable room in the house,” according to Daria Schrage.

GREAT DESIGNERS HAVE an innate sense of how to turn an idea into reality. So when interior designer Caleb Anderson—who recently merged firms with fellow designer Jamie Drake—was approached to renovate a three-bedroom apartment in the contemporary Baccarat Residences, he had a good idea of what to expect. Or so he thought. The client, it turns out, was not a big fan of modern spaces. “Everything he has owned in the past and gravitates to is architecturally detailed and from another time period,” explains Anderson. While the client had misgivings, he picked the perfect designer. “He had no way of making sense of how he could use some of the antiques in his possession and make them relevant in a contemporary building,” says Anderson. “But I like to mix different periods. I find it especially interesting that you can create a space that feels modern and appropriate when in fact there are 17th and 18th century antiques spread throughout.” And so he set to work. The floor plan delineated the master bedroom and shared living/dining space to the left of the entry gallery, a bedroom-turnedstudy directly in front facing east, and kitchen and another guest bedroom to the right. On the eastern end of the living space, Anderson created a focal point with a vibrant, large-scale abstract painting by German artist Friedel Dzubas set over a deep charcoal, velvet even-back sofa. An antique chandelier the designer found at a fair in Italy adds a dramatic flair and offsets the pair of modern CONTINUED

A barrel-shaped French Empire chair recalls the vernacular of the rest of the home. To cater to the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of more compartmentalized spaces, Anderson added leather doors with nailhead details to separate the living space from the entry gallery. An antique candelabra adds interest to the marble vanity. OPPOSITE: In the master bedroom, the designer played up the 12-foot-ceilings with symmetrically placed mirrors designed to exaggerate. A wool-and-silk stool from Maison Gerard mimics the movement of the Nicolas Carone painting above the bed.

sculptural coffee tables. On the facing wall, geometric mirrors reflect a 19th-century French chandelier over a brass dining table Anderson had custom made in Italy. English Regency armchairs from the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own collection add an element of interest. To keep the architectural shell very clean and allow for the art and the more opulent antiques to stand out, the designer painted all the walls white throughout. Dark wood floors anchor the space. A gilded bronze chandelier and marble-topped gold side tables set a stately tone in the master bedroom. Meanwhile, warm tones from an antique rug, a William IV period sofa, and a textural print bring a cozy intimacy to the study. To play up the light and airy feel of the guest bedroom, Anderson kept the design simple, adding an architectural canopy bed and bringing the vernacular of the rest of the apartment into the room with an ornate antique chair. In the end, Anderson achieved a sophisticated look that shows it's the art of the mix that counts. "There are really strong juxtapositions that prove that edited choices can bring an appreciation for combining old and new" he says. As for the client? He completely agreed. SEE RESOURCES

INTERIOR DESIGNER CARL D’AQUINO and architect Francine Monaco are known for their hands-on approach, which is undoubtedly one of the main reasons a recently single New Yorker enlisted them to help him find a new home—the third time that he has worked with the pair. They looked for almost a year before deciding on a penthouse duplex on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. While it was hardly in mint condition—it was an estate sale and hadn’t been touched in years— the wraparound terrace and the ability to have a master suite upstairs apart from his two sons when they were in residence, clinched the deal. Plus, the client loved the apartment’s structural simplicity. “There was very little in CONTINUED

the way of columns or other structural impediments, which allowed us to have an open contemporary f low and feeling to the apartment,” he says. The partners did rework the f loor plan. “There was no sense of space,” says Monaco, who was faced with a series of disconnected rooms. The biggest intervention was moving the staircase from the far side of the first f loor to the wall by the front door, not only creating a gracious entrance, but adding a cozy sitting room on the second f loor. On the first f loor they created an open plan because the owner loves to cook and entertain and wanted an effortless f low. The rooms mostly face south and are f looded with light.

because the owner, a serious collector, planned to install major works by David Salle, Glenn Ligon and Richard Prince among others. When it came to furnishings, the owner knew that the designers were very familiar with his taste. “They understood I would want significant art juxtaposed with midcentury modern and Art Deco furniture. I love Gio Ponti and Vladimir Kagan,” he says, adding “Carl & Francine want to challenge you. Contemporary art, architecture, and design shouldn’t only look good. It should make you ask who, why, and how. Finding that balance of aesthetic precision, with an eclectic, personal design style is what it’s all about.” SEE RESOURCES

VELVET GOLDMINE In the living room, velvets abound. The Oly chairs are covered in Brunschwig & Fils. The Jonas sofa back is covered in Knoll and the cushions are Osborne & Little. The Jonas armchairs are upholstered in Zimmer & Rohde.
AT A TIME when Manhattan’s hottest (read: most expensive) real estate is concentrated in glass towers such as the Millennium, Baccarat, and One57, it’s tempting to think of Upper East Side pre-war apartments as relics of an older aspirational ideal. For an attitude adjustment, however, consider the residence Tara Seawright designed for thirtysomething clients with two young children. “They are young, cool and fashionable so I wanted to make this formal space hipper,” says Seawright. In the large gallery beyond the elevator foyer that leads to the apartment’s other rooms, the designer “imagined a chic hand-painted Chinese wallpaper that would feel like walking into a garden.” She had to rethink that idea. “When I priced it out it was a gazillion dollars and my client said, ‘Tara, one stroke of a crayon and there goes $50,000 worth of wallpaper.’ It was impractical.” Switching course, she swathed it in a hand-painted metallic celadon strié. But the spirit of the originally conceived wallpaper determined the palette for the remaining rooms. This is not your mother’s CONTINUED

pre-war pad. Seawright’s approach to color makes it au courant. The living room features large recessed panels papered in a rippling metallic gold-and-blue pattern, with furniture upholstered in pale blue, pumpkin, and gray. The grass cloth-wrapped dining room has a coral-and-magenta rug and drapes and chairs covered in pink faux snakeskin. Swing around and you see a hallway sporting terra cotta walls. “I wanted the feeling of traveling as you move through the rooms,” says Seawright. Using shades that weren’t deeply saturated, however, ensured against a color overdose. “I like graying down colors so they have more longevity.” Though Seawright sidestepped a full-on psychedelic acid trip, a discernable retro-cool pervades the space. Jeffrey Fine, of Pier, Fine Associates revamped a bad 1980s remodel. “We brought back a period feel, but with a cleaner interpretation of pre-war moldings,” says Fine. Furniture forms are largely traditional, but they are upholstered in cut velvets reminiscent of the 1960s and ’70s. SEE RESOURCES

and the mercury starts to rise, thoughts turn to bringing the outdoors in and infusing our lives with color and scent. From the corner deli to the chicest TriBeCa atelier, suddenly everything is in bloom. And down on 14th street at FlowerSchool New York, you can learn what to do with the colors of the season, either professionally or in your own home. Founded in 2003 by Eileen Johnson, the school is the only state-accredited floral design program in the country. Want to abandon the rat race? Sign up for a six-week course in the floral arts, covering everything from event design to setting up your own flower shop. Or, dabble a little bit with the school’s master classes taught by some of the world’s foremost floral artists including Christian Tortu, Charles Masson of La Grenouille fame, and Remco Van Vliet, the talented artist behind the spectacular arrangements in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Says Johnson, “Our classes are very technique oriented. Sometimes the simplest bouquet is the most difficult to execute.” What’s the design trend this year? Natural, painterly, and not as cultivated, according to Johnson. “Bouquets that look like a slightly unkempt English country garden, looser, and asymmetrical—that’s what we are seeing now.” flowerschoolny.com.
