Down to the studs luxury bathroom renovation here. We loved using the Bedrosians Makoto green wall tile. It added a nice texture and warmth. Floors are Daltile with a Suntouch floor heat underneath. Beautiful freestanding soaking tub by Wyndham and Delta wall mounted filler. 8' tall doors with unique handles. Custom built walnut linen closet.

This NoHo apartment, in a landmarked circa 1870 building designed by Stephen Decatur Hatch and converted to lofts in 1987, had been interestingly renovated by a rock musician before being purchased by a young hedge fund manager and his gallery director girlfriend. Naturally, the couple brought to the project their collection of painting, photography and sculpture, mostly by young emerging artists. Axis Mundi accommodated these pieces within a neutral palette accented with occasional flashes of bright color that referenced the various artworks. Major furniture pieces – a sectional in the library, a 12-foot-long dining table–along with a rich blend of textures such as leather, linen, fur and warm woods, helped bring the sprawling dimensions of the loft down to human scale.

Conceived by architect Rafael Viñoly—432 Park Avenue is the tallest residential skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. This apartment designed by John Beckmann and his design firm Axis Mundi has some of the most breathtaking views in Manhattan. Known for their glamorous low-slung aesthetic, Axis Mundi took the challenge to design the residence for an American client living in China with a family of four, and an important art collection (including the likes of Cy Twombly, Gerhard Richter, Susan Frecon, Vik Muniz and Lisette Schumacher, among others). In the dining room, a Bocci “28 Chandelier” hangs above an intricate marble and brass table by Henge, with ceramics by John Born. Entering the main living area, a monumental “Let it Be” sectional from Poltrona Frau sits on a silver custom-designed Joseph Carini wool and silk rug. A ‘Surface” coffee table designed by Vincent Van Duysen and “Fulgens” armchairs in saddle leather by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia create the penultimate space for entertaining. The sensuous red library features custom-designed bookshelves in burnished brass and walnut, as a “Wing Sofa” in red velvet from Flexform floats atop a “Ponti” area rug from the Rug Company. “JJ Chairs” in Mongolian lamb fur from B&B Italia add a rock and roll swagger to the space. The kitchen accentuates the grey marble flooring and all-white color palette, with the exception of a few light wood and marble details. A dramatic pendant in hand-burnished brass, designed by Henge, hovers above the kitchen island, while a floating marble counter spans the window opening. It is a serene spot to enjoy a morning cappuccino while pondering the ever-changing skyline of the Metropolis. In a counterintuitive move, Beckmann decided to make the gallery dark by finishing the walls in a smoked lacquered plaster with hints of mica, which add sparkle and glitter. John Beckmann made sure to include extravagant fabrics from Christopher Hyland and a deft mix of textures and colors to the design. In the master bedroom is a wall-length headboard system in leather and velvet panels from Poliform, with luxurious bedding from Frette. Dupre Lafon lounge chairs in a buttery leather rest on a custom golden silk carpet by Joseph Carini, while a pair of parchment bedside lamps by Jean Michel Frank complete the design. The facade is treated with an LED lighting system which changes colors and can be controlled by the client with their iPhone from the street.

Inspired by the bold fabric selected for the custom floor to ceiling drapery, this loft captures the feel of a vintage lounge while remaining modern and sophisticated. The super saturated colors were used to create the custom, over-sized, patterned hair on hide area rug, also complimented by the leather tufted sofa. A round glass and brass coffee table is the centerpiece for this space and adds to the inviting seating arrangement for conversation and cocktails. Prominently displayed at the top of the stairs, custom artwork was commissioned using personally collected photos and posters of the legendary Dolly Parton throughout her career. This beautiful piece was designed to match the room's color pallet and is truly the perfect touch to this vibrant loft. Photo: Zeke Ruelas

Image by Drew kelly Proof that the adage “the best perfumes come in small bottles…” is true is this two-bedroom apartment in downtown San Francisco. We collaborated with the owner, a retired designer recently settled in San Francisco, to transform this non-descript modern space in a high rise building into a setting of panache and style. The living room was transformed into a “salon” where linen banquettes face a wall of portraits purchased over the years. Above the banquettes, current artwork by the owner is framed in various frame styles. In the center of the room, a round table draped with a toile de jouy and a linen cloth hosts a collection of vases and artifacts from his travels. A collection of chairs completes the room, including a stone garden seat, a French bergère, and a primitive African chair. One of the bedrooms is now an elegant dining room with a round table surrounded by archaic Chinese pottery and metal ware. A large Flemish tapestry creates a counterpoint to the Chinese objects. On opposite corners of the room, cozy reading seating areas were created to add to the versatility of the space. In the master bedroom, pillows made from antique Flemish tapestry enliven a linen bedspread. A large early 20th century portrait by John de Costa creates a link to the portraits in the living room.

Hammer & Hand worked with Board & Vellum on this 1937 home to repair the damage done by a poorly designed 80’s remodel. The team created an open floorplan that better utilizes the existing space with a focus on bringing attention to the home’s views of the canal and Puget Sound. H&H removed interior walls and reconfigured the home’s poor layout without changing the footprint. All new finishes brought the home out of the 80’s and gave it a fresh, modern look. The reconfigured roof does double duty: it collects runoff in rain barrels for landscape irrigation while a solar PV array converts sunlight into electricity. The home is Built Green 4 star certified. Photos by John G. Wilbanks Photography.

My clients fell in love with the location and bones of this spec house, but not the informal style. The finishes were very casual and did not work with their furniture or lifestyle. I had redecorated some rooms in their 19th century home in Baltimore city a few years before, so they called on me to work with their builder to customize this home to fit their taste and needs. I changed the kitchen, added a formal fireplace mantle, added moldings, changed the wood selection for the floors, designed custom window treatments. We designated where all of their furniture, art, rugs and collections would go before any changes were made. Photographed by John Hanou
