Space-Age Flair Meets Contemporary Minimalism in an Artfully Renovated New York Apartment
A major highlight of the renovation was the seamless glossy white epoxy resin floor that spans the entire apartment. This feature, executed flawlessly in a single pour, mirrors the minimalist white palette that serves as the backdrop to the space. “We wanted the floor to create a harmonious surface throughout the residence, enhancing the inspired cloudscape aesthetic,” the designers explain. The result is a striking effect that amplifies the sense of openness and light, creating a gallery-like atmosphere where the clients’ art collection can truly shine. Hidden flush doors and concealed closet spaces further amplify the scheme’s minimalist sophistication while the subtle incorporation of circular forms reflects the owners’ love for circles.
Colour was introduced sparingly but effectively. The predominantly white canvas allows for small punches of bold colours and mod prints to emerge through the upholstery and select décor pieces, making a statement without overwhelming the space. Material choices further complement the home’s unique aesthetic: Glossy, reflective surfaces dominate, from lacquered cabinetry to polished millwork, enhancing the curated, light-filled environment.
The designers’ meticulous balance of retro-futuristic flair and sleek minimalism extends to the curation of furniture where vintage icons seamlessly blend with contemporary designs and custom-designed pieces. “We aimed to create an atmosphere with nods to space-age sixties mod, the beauty of a well-curated art gallery, and a luxurious living space to match,” the designers explain.
