Tuscan influences prevail throughout this uptown residence with a refreshingly modern twist, including Venetian plaster, custom millwork, rich woods with amber highlights and warm lux textiles. This complete renovation included the installation of a new kitchen, custom fabrications, a spa-like master bathroom and production of new walls and floors.

A main feature of the living room was the custom mural media bar with built-in shelving to house the client’s book collection. The bold graphic mural upholstered enclosure cleverly concealed a flat-screen TV and other audio/video systems, complimenting the strong and robust elements of other furnishings in the space.

“Our aim was to create something sophisticated yet relaxing, while offering our client a haven from the hectic pace of his professional life in the Financial District,” explained Joe Ginsberg.

The mural itself authentically represented the client, as Joe explained, “The print of the Cossacks on horseback is entitled, Blood In the Desert, symbolic of Wall Street”.

Ultimately, Joe Ginsberg was able to achieve both a stunning and functional space. The owner was pleased with all aspects of the renovation from the custom lighting to finishes and accessories chosen to complete the inviting interior. The renovation ultimately increased the value of the apartment significantly.
