The reconfiguration of a compartmentalized 1940s co-op apartment into a large loft-like space is crafted to suit contemporary living and casual entertaining. The combined kitchen, dining and living rooms create well-proportioned spaces by eliminating inefficient circulation paths while natural light pours in through four south-facing windows. Anchored by a deep and richly hued kitchen, the design is underscored with shades of gray and punctuated with moments of warmth from white oak and brass details.
