This Clayton penthouse condominium underwent an extensive interior renovation to bring continuity to the spaces and provide a serene and light-filled backdrop for the clients’ art collection. The condo is laid out as a series of rooms along each side of a generously scaled hallway axis. Careful editing of the scale and alignments of the various thresholds into the rooms brought continuity and allowed for curated display of the artwork. A neutral palette of interior materials — high gloss white cabinetry, gray wood veneer, stained oak, and dark porcelain tiles — are contrasted with soft, textural furniture and rugs.

A new, built-in banquette coupled with an airy chandelier anchors the new kitchen layout while a custom wine niche in the same veneered paneling provides a focal point for the media room. The light-filled master bath was enlarged with a new shower clad in milky glass tiles that reflect light and contrast the black tile floor. A tall, slender slab of back-lit leathered granite provides a contrasting backdrop to a smooth, white enameled sink and sculptural light fixture in the new powder room. And a dramatic, feathery pendant light surrounded by the owners’ colorful art collection provides a high-impact first impression at the foyer of the residence.
