This full floor, new-construction Manhattan apartment is transformed into a boutique-style residence with a more open plan. Social areas unfold around a central volume containing an inset bar. A hallway connecting to the master bedroom suite is transformed into a gallery lined with white lacquered wall panels and concealed doors. Teak and sapele wall panels and flooring have been introduced to infuse warmth into the modern envelope, and custom furnishings have been designed to complement the architectural forms.
