A young couple loved the Upper East Side location of their classic pre-war apartment, but with a new baby on the way a gut remodel and complete redesign was in order. To make the space work for the growing family that needed to keep an eye o baby from every room, an open space plan allows for effortless flow and visible connection between kitchen, dining and living. Masterfully crafted live-edge details on the kitchen island, bar and master laundry room door give a gutsy farmhouse vibe that complements a casual mix of mid-century and modern furniture warmed by Scandinavian textiles.
