The Apartment, the NYC based creative agency lead by Stefan Boublil unleashed photos of an amazing project (apartment) they’ve recently completed in Manhattan.

We reached out to Stefan & he gave us enormous insight into his design process; starting with collecting solid data about the clients living habits & daily routines to the minute (if possible), from wake to sleep in order to design a floorplan which combined 3 smaller apartments into this masterpiece with a deep focus on accentuating the amazing view from the space into Central Park et al.

In addition, his client hoped for a “warm” feeling, leading Stefan to redefine warm as we know it – instead of using color to convey warmth, he created a warm living space; through the use of texture, lighting & design with an undying loyalty to the buildings surroundings as his muse.

In order to achieve the end result, Stefan started by combining 3 smaller apartments into one, making sure every single room was constructed so that the “postcard view” of Central Park is the star. Add a built-in wraparound sofa, a secret door in the solid walnut library and distribute surround sound all over the home, this project is an ode to the 80s during which the building was erected.

Here are the rest of the photos:

The kitchen and dining area is the only ones wrapped in waxed concrete thereby giving it a theatrical feel, especially when seen from the rest of the apartment which is clad in bleached pine and subdued colors.

Suited for a family of 4 with 2 children, the communal living spaces stands in between the master suite and the kids’ rooms, hidden behind the aforementioned trap door in the library, thereby providing a buffer of sight and sound.

Stefan describes the final result as “having a monastery + cowboy ranch + 80s vibe…”
