Our goal for the comprehensive renovation of this apartment was to maintain the vocabulary of this majestic pre-war structure. We enlarged openings and added transoms above to allow the infiltration of daylight into the Foyer. We created a Library in a deep saturated mahogany and completely replaced the Kitchen and Pantry, which were vintage 1960’s. Several years later, our client asked to have her home office relocated to the Living Room. We modified the layout, locating the office along the north facing windows, with office and entertainment equipment located in an armoire customized for this use. In addition to integrating many of the client’s existing furnishings, the design included new furnishings, custom carpeting and task lighting. ‘ALL PHOTOS BY PETER VITALE’

Looking into the large master shower with 3 heads controlled by a six-way diverter valve. The shower measures about 5' x 9' and the fixtures are all Hansgrohe components. The very cool oval-shaped grab bars are by Kohler. The 72" long linear floor drain is a Schluter Kerdi-Line product. The Comprehensive brand wall tiles were laid in this vertical grid pattern for a more contemporary look. Closer inspection will reveal that the vertical grout joints are all 1/4" wide and the horizontal joints are 1/8" wide, per the architect's specifications. The shower is curbless for wheelchair accessibilty, with approximately 3/4" of slope towards the drain. Photography by Brian Wancho.

This large master bathroom had enough space but lacked the function and style our clients desired. This comprehensive design refresh - which includes a seamless bathtub with built-in television, glass shower, modern cabinets, vanity, and seating area - turned this bathroom into a spa-like oasis.

The idea of the communality of a rural kitchen serving multi functions was at the heart of the design of this hand crafted collection. Before the zeal for labour saving devices turned the kitchen into more of a science lab, kitchens were the centre of the home that bound communities together, where heat and nourishment were found along with workers and family. Bastide freestanding furniture has been created as a comprehensive system mixing varying combinations of cupboards to surround a range or a Belfast sink. Handcrafted in France from oak using traditional joinery techniques, this informal eclectic style enables a casual and relaxed approach to kitchen living.
