This chic loft environment is situated in the trendy area of Manhattan where the West Village meets Soho and Tribeca.

With homes in Aspen and Fire Island, the goal for this pied-à-terre was to provide an easy, comfortable, but low maintenance, environment for the jet set owners.

The bright open setting maximizes space by utilizing streamlined style, rich textures, eye-catching color, and high technology.

The living area features a mélange of furniture, such as polished chrome, bright enamel, and warm leather; all set against a striking wall-to-wall walnut media and storage unit and white sculptural Mouille light fixture. The richly grained walnut unit discretely houses not only the client’s large collection of music and other media, but also state-of the art audio and video equipment, bar, china, and library.

The overall neutral palette punctured by strong color deepens from the public rooms to the more private areas of the residence — culminating in the master bedroom where dark mocha contrasts simply against the white envelope of the room. Here, color is traded for texture and sophistication.
