A New York Pied-à-Terre For A Fun-Loving Family

Residence, New York

The vertically integrated firm tackles design at every scale, from master planning and architecture to interiors, product, and branding. Several of those practice areas came into play at this 2,540-square-foot pied-à-terre for a fun-loving family, a repeat client for whom Workshop/APD has also completed houses in Palm Beach, Florida, and on Nantucket, Massachusetts. Like those homes, “Everything here needed to be effortless and comfortable and show off the client’s incredible style and art, but also serene and visually calming, a refuge from the city’s chaos,” interiors principal Nicole Ficano says.

In a relatively new TriBeCa tower, the three-bedroom apartment centers on the foyer and its large-scale Adolph Gottleib painting, with the eat-in kitchen off to one side and the living-dining area, library, and bedrooms to the other. With no architectural interventions needed, efforts were focused on a facelift: electrical and lighting alterations, building in copious millwork, and installing contemporary furnishings, many by local artisans, around blue-chip art pieces. The latter is evident in the dining area, where an Esteban Vicente oil on canvas gently colors the sophisticated neutrals of Workshop/APD’s custom Partis table, Nina Seirafi’s Gary chairs, and a figured-maple Payette credenza by Token, and the living area’s Friedel Dzubas Color Field acrylic above Egg Collective’s Howard sofa. Angular pendant and sconce fixtures by Neri&Hu and Paul Matter add a dose of urban edge.
