The transformation of a compact Upper West Side apartment into a space that balances character with functionality required contemporary interpretations of classic architectural elements with a neutral palette. Reimagined to be timeless and thoughtful and taking cues rom the client’s Swedish heritage and Nordic design, the home features custom pieces, vintage finds, and unique touches like stained glass panels and French etched glass doors.
