We collaborated with Commune Design to create a New York City pied-à-terre for a California-based family. Park Avenue Apartment is a classic duplex designed by the prominent architect J.E.R. Carpenter in 1927, and the rooms retained great proportions and some original details.

Our goal was to peel back later changes to reveal the original bones, then enhance them with sensitively designed details that harmonized with the existing features. A new opening connects the kitchen to the dining room, and the kitchen was carefully planned to eliminate asymmetrical and awkward corners.
