UN PLAZA APARTMENT

Apartment Renovation

A high-rise apartment was transformed into a warm, weightless canvas for the owner’s Inuit art collection. Heavy stone carvings were set on thin steel shelves, anchored invisibly behind back-painted, azure glass. Wood paneled walls defied the owner’s “no wood” brief and imparted a sophisticated warmth. Glass and lacquered surfaces created reflections that softened the room’s cool modernism. In the end, the design reconciled mass with lightness, giving way to a tastefully tailored, ethereal home.

“Heavy art floats on light—warm, weightless, and quietly luminous.”
