It also provides a more subtle blend of color.

Boasting views of the Museum of Natural History and Central Park, the Beaux Arts and French Renaissance style building built in 1900 was once home to a luxury hotel. Over the years multiple hotel rooms were combined into the larger apartment residences that exist today. The resulting units, while large in size, lacked the continuity of a single formed space. StudioLAB was presented with the challenge of re-designing the space to fit a modern family’s lifestyle today with the flexibility to adjust as they evolve into their tomorrow. Thus, the existing configuration was completely abandoned with new programmatic elements being relocated in each and every corner of the space. For clients that are big wine connoisseurs, the focal point of entry and circulation lies in a 400 bottle, custom built, blackened steel and glass, temperature controlled wine cabinet. The once enclosed living room was demolished to create one main entertaining space that includes a new dining area and open kitchen. Hafele bi-folding pocket door slides were used in the Living room wall unit to conceal the television, bar and display shelves when not in use. Posing as kitchen cabinetry, a hidden integrated door opens to reveal a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom. Down the hallway of wide plank ebony stained walnut flooring, a compact powder room was built to house an original Paul Villinski installation of small butterflies cut from recycled aluminum cans, entitled Mistral. Continuing down the hall, and through one of the walnut veneered doors, is the shared kids bedroom where a custom-built bunk bed with integrated storage steps and desk was designed to allow for play space and a reading corner. The kids bathroom across the hall is decorated with custom Lego inspired hand cast concrete tiles and integrated pull-out footstools residing underneath the floating vanity. The master suite features a bio-ethanol fireplace wrapped in blackened steel and integrated into the Tabu veneered built-in. The spacious walk-in closet serves several purposes, which include housing the apartment’s new central HVAC system as well as a sleeping spot for the family’s dog. An integrated URC control system paired with Lutron Radio RA lighting keypads were installed to control the AV, HVAC, lighting and solar shades all by the use of smartphones.

This large kitchen was desperately needing a refresh. It was far to traditional for the homeowners taste. Additionally, there was no direct path to the dining room as you needed to enter through a butlers pantry. I opened up two doorways into the kitchen from the dining room, which allowed natural light to flow in. The former butlers pantry was then sealed up and became part of the formerly to small pantry. The homeowners now have a 13' long walk through pantry, accessible from both the new bar area and the kitchen.

We used a beautiful and earthy sage green on the cabinets, warm wood on the floors, island, floatng shelves, and back of glass cabinets for added warmth.

This room got such a dramatic transformation! The previous owner had brought it into the late 80's/early 90's, though the home was 100 years old. I wanted to bring some of that old charm back into the place. We added the newel post, railing, discovered original hardwoods and refinished the flooring and stairs, and my favorite piece was the very heavy marble fireplace surround. I found it on Craigslist for 800$. It was my first purchase for this home and was the inspiration piece for the rest of the house! This photo crops out the other sofa and room divider with columns that separate the living room from the dining room. To see the room in entirety (or the entire home) feel free to look at my project titled " Minneapolis Home." Staging by Cindy Montgomery of Showhomes, Minneapolis. Photo by Obeo, Minneapolis.

Amidst such surprises, the couple also discovered double-brick wall beneath the layers of paneling lining every room. "We hit the jackpot on that one!" Catherine laughs. It was at this point that the couple's design intentions took a shift. Whereas their previous home had been full of color and decorative accents, they opted for a more neutral, spare sense in this home. As Catherine explains, "We felt that the walls, and ceilings and floors spoke for themselves, and we didn't want our furniture to to take away from these features." Antique crates inherited from Catherine's family can be found throughout the home. Containing extra household items from books, to blankets, to collectibles, they are a way to keep clutter at bay.
