Design IntentThe design intent was to create interiors that resonated with potential discerning guests as a home away from home. What was unique for us is that we had to complete this project from existing stock in a matter of weeks. Every element from loose furniture to art to cutlery were all carefully considered. We started with two apartments (named Harry & Franklin) that lacked soul despite having just been completed, lighting fixtures were an afterthought, but the building is spectacular, very New York. What appeals to us now is that both apartments are warm, individual in style, inviting with a timeless aesthetic. There might be some additions to come…a stylist is never happy! More
