Central Park West has to be one of the most sought-after areas in New York City and the luxury Robert Stern building at 15 Central Park West (15 CPW), NY, is, without doubt, one of the most desirable residences in this prestigious location. As such, this exciting re-design demanded the attention, talent and expertise that only a high-end interior design firm such as Michele Safra’s could bring. With a enviable track record in city apartment residences, as well a… - [Park Avenue Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-avenue-apartment-pj-vj~9743) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 11 - Description: Where new world style meets old world grandeur. Creating a stylish, yet functional space for a family can be a daunting task for an interior designer. The challenge with such interior design projects is that there’s more than one person sharing the space and that means creating a beautiful home that appeals to everyone’s sense of taste and design. In the case of this NY family, the husband wanted a formal space where he could entertain. At the same time, the wife did not want the space to feel l… - [Riverside Drive Apt.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/riverside-drive-apt-pj-vj~125815) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 6 - Description: Letting the creativity flow. Many clients come to us for a temporary makeover while they wait to move into another home. This delightful riverside apartment is a perfect example of clever, low budget interior design. With these projects, whether in New York or elsewhere, the key is to use as much of the existing furniture as possible and strengthen the overall theme with new pieces. De-cluttering was the biggest task here. The apartment had no discernible theme with furniture, styles, colours an… - [Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/townhouse-pj-vj~1412415) - Location: Miami, FL - Photos: 22 - Description: City Style, Tropical Elegance. Architect, João Mansur, is renowned for his beautifully designed spaces, including some highly desirable townhouses, and this is an outstanding example built in the neo-classical style in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Despite the tropical location, like New York or Miami, Sao Paulo is a bustling metropolis and the clients wanted their home to feel like a city house, but without giving up its Brazilian tropical charm. What was needed was classic interior design to imbue an air… - [Upper East Side Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-east-side-apartment-pj-vj~1543688) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 12 - Description: Facing onto the East River in New York, this project consisted of an entire renovation, transforming the existing space into an authentic Upper East Side residence – everything a desirable, modern New York apartment should be! This was a project that would bring out the best in any good interior designer. As fitting with the location, the apartment was to have modern interiors, but it also needed to be inviting, warm and functional. Indeed, what we had here was a typical example of classic for c… - [Fifth Avenue Dr's Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fifth-avenue-dr-s-office-pj-vj~1414927) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 6 - Description: Clinical precision, practical style. New York clients can be more demanding than most. After all, it’s the city that never sleeps. Yes, it’s a commercial city, but it’s also oh-so-stylish as well. So it takes something a little special to stand out. But, with this medical office located on 5th Avenue, that’s exactly what our interior design team was able to do. The challenge here was about combining contemporary style with practicality to bring about a medical practice that oozed professionalism… - [Miami Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miami-penthouse-pj-vj~9744) - Location: Miami, FL - Photos: 21 - Description: A room with a view. Here’s a great example of combining contemporary design with traditional Miami style in a seashore apartment flooded with space and light. The visitor’s first impressions when entering this home are formed from the stunning views of ocean and sky, but our brief was to make the space feel more grounded. This we achieved by limiting glass in the interior and anchoring the space with large pieces of furniture. To temper the expansive feel of this spacious condo, our interior des… - [Plaza Hotel Studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plaza-hotel-studio-pj-vj~9745) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 5 - Description: Seeing the big picture. The Plaza Hotel Studio in New York provided the perfect template for our interior design team. All we had to was inject flair and style to create a space that was neither too traditional nor too contemporary. When the project was complete, the door opened up onto a world class hotel studio that would appeal to a varied range of guests. There was an additional element to this brief that made it altogether more exciting for the interior designer. The space needed to incorpo… - [Plaza Hotel Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plaza-hotel-apartment-pj-vj~9747) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 5 - Description: French elegance in New York. A traditional and elegant French look was what was required for this pied-à-terre in one of New York’s finest hotels. The brief might have seemed straightforward but our client also wanted to keep some works of art, such as their Botero collection, in place. This meant that we would have to make sure that our French makeover didn’t clash with the more contemporary elements of design already at play within the apartment. Certainly, the residents of this apartment woul… - [Duplex](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/duplex-pj-vj~9750) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: Art and life in harmony. This was a truly exciting brief for the Michele Safra interior design team as it involved displaying a large and eclectic collection of modern, Asian and ancient art within a residential home. Our role was to enable the owners to display their collection in a harmonious and balanced way that wouldn’t affect the practical functionality of the home but, rather, add to it aesthetically. Of course, it would be too easy, not to mention, cliché, to use standard ‘white box’ dis… - [CT Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ct-townhouse-pj-vj~2984394) - Location: Stamford, CT - Photos: 7 - [One Day Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/one-day-makeover-pj-vj~15011) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 1 - [Bachelor's Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bachelor-s-apartment-pj-vj~15012) - Location: Boston, MA - Photos: 1 - [Villa Cocunut Grove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/villa-cocunut-grove-pj-vj~2859316) - Location: Miami, FL - Photos: 16 [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/michele-safra-pfvwus-pf~1384207742) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the wallpaper!** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the colors and the geometric design.
