According to the design team at Space4Architecture, this duplex apartment in New York was designed with only three materials, “White plaster walls, oak for both floors and millwork, and smooth concrete floor, helps creating a very luminous space, giving it an almost ethereal flair.”
Family of Four
Designed for a family of four, this apartment in the Tribeca neighbourhood of New York emphasises on the creation of ample storage space.

Open & Spacious Interiors
“Our challenge was to maintain the openness of the original duplex space, while at the same time guarantee adequate privacy for our clients.”
