During construction, ceilings were removed, and existing structural beams were exposed to maximize ceiling heights and light throughout the apartment - new skylights in the kitchen and powder room aided in brightening the space. The entire apartment now contains reading nooks and numerous shelves to make a book just a reach away. Finally, custom millwork optimizes storage throughout the apartment. The lower floor became the bedroom, featuring a large spa-inspired bathroom with Zellige wall tiles, Waterworks fixtures, and new decorative lighting. Just beyond the bathroom, we created a spacious multi-functional hallway that serves as a subtle walk-in closet as well as a transitional space between the bedroom and the lower floor landing. To allow for a physical separation between the private and entertaining areas of the apartment, we connected the upper and lower floors via a new spiral staircase.
