We used a chipboard model to better visualize the forms of the house. Many architects (myself included) use computer generated renderings and 3D models, but making a simple, physical model that you can hold in your hands, put your eye up to it, and view it from different angles is much more satisfying than looking at a computer screen.

We approached this Tribeca home décor project with a focus on subtle renovations, enhancing the space while preserving its original charm. Our client moved into an apartment with beautiful finishes. We enhanced the space with new furnishings and accessories and styled every room to reflect the client's tastes. The result is a cohesive and welcoming home. This versatile secondary bedroom, wallpapered with a stylish design, serves as both a home office and a guest room. Featuring a comfortable pullout sofa, it's a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics.

Ann Kenkel Interiors. Gwin Hunt Photography Complete gut of Watergate Penthouse and renovation. Ann Kenkel gutted a very contemporary Penthouse which had no molding and concrete floors. Installed Walnut flooring, redesigned space, designed all built ins, and decorated PH. Space was for a middle aged bachelor who wanted the spaces to have multi function. He wanted the Living Room to function as a library as well as a formal living room. I designed very elegant walnut bookcases with built in sound speakers. The furniture is comfortable yet upholstered in elegant fabrics. The coffee table was a high end custom Minton Spidell coffee table which elevates the space to a more formal look. The entry hall showcases a very fine antique mirror over a console with fine inlaid banding. The living room has rich chenille fabrics, ultra suede pillows with trim and a tapestry chenille on the chairs. Kenkel designed a white wood mantle deep enough that weighty accessories. There needed to be greater division between the living room and dining. AK designed an open etagere to contain large crystal pieces with beautiful lighting. It created enough of a screen to provide some privacy between the rooms in addition to making both rooms appear longer. The dining room needed to serve as a home office with a computer station and two comfortable chairs for the client to hold a business meeting. I also needed to function as a dining room. AK designed a built in unit which housed glass shelf cabinets on either side of an open space. The open space had a counter which was appropriate height for a computer as well as a a serving service at dinner time. Office equipment, printer, fax, router was all housed in a lower cabinet. The pendant chandelier is a very fine antique french piece. AK designed a built in unit for clothes, a flat screen tv and speakers. There was a large roof top patio which had beautiful views of the Washington Monument. AK created a thorough design for extensive entertaining, in her 3d drafting program. The client moved before the patio could be built out. Draperies are made out of Jim Thompson raw silk. Antique bronze dore candelsticks, bronze urn on fireplace, telescope to see city in etagere.

Designer Lindsey West transformed this home into a sleek and modern beauty with attention to detail from start to finish. Computer renderings were created to show the homeowner an overview of the design before the project began. Rich, hand scraped hardwood flooring replaced dated oak floors and tile. Polished quartz countertops were carefully selected to compliment the Statuary & Carrara Marble custom designed backsplash and fireplace surround. Sleek cabinet hardware and simple glass pendants were the finishing touches to bring this house up to date. Designer: Lindsey West Computer Renderings: Susan Phillips Rogers Photographer: Al Pursley
