Madison Avenue Residence, New York

Madison Avenue Apartment

Apartment size: 3,000 sq ft
Location: Upper East Side, New York, NY
Program: Gut Renovation, Interior Design, and Decoration for Single Family Residence

The design for this 3,000-square-foot Madison Avenue apartment centers around the client’s need to display contemporary art. De-spec’s layout prioritizes flow from room to room. Incorporating four bedrooms, an eating kitchen, a dining room, a living room, an office and a library, the project included repositioning and constructing walls to support programmatic needs.

A collaborative process, de-spec and the client selected artworks to display from the collection. Simple furnishings and minimal furniture allow art to reflect the client’s vision and animate everyday living.
