A “Classic Six” apartment in a Pre-War building with good bones and great light was in need of an update. On a high floor with East and West exposures and views of 2 churches across the avenue there was little need for window treatments. The owner preferred a spare, clean approach to the interiors. A streamlined palette was adopted with pared down classic furnishings. Because of the minimal décor, the scale of the moldings in the public areas were beefed up to give added heft to the spaces. A cerused oak paneled library was built which became the owner’s haven. A powder room was along with a new kitchen and bathrooms. The original classic black and white checkerboard marble floor in the foyer was restored and polished.
