A Serene Kitchen & Bath Grounds This SoHo Loft
2025 Best of Year Winner for Kitchen & Bath
A residence in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan proved fertile ground to express Ember Studio‘s dedication to harmony between objects and environment. The 2,800-square-foot loft renovation balances architectural coherence with meaningful detailing. Vintage pieces are carefully placed, including distinctive wood stools sourced from Galerie Was at the kitchen island. The palette throughout is inspired by the Amangiri in Utah, where the client couple got married, and by a watercolor artwork that Ember Studio founder Stephanie Betesh painted for their wedding. White-oak millwork and a veined marble backsplash add definition to the kitchen. In the primary bathroom, an oak-clad drop ceiling floats above an oval tub fromed from clay, with walls an elegant hand-troweled Marmorino plaster. Custom touches abound, including pressed-floral art and primordial bathroom sinks carved from a 1,600-pound block of Italian stone. A home can be a quiet refuge, even within a buzzing city.
