West End Apartment

Through a holistic approach renovation of a Penthouse in a West End prewar building, this project interconnects all the spaces and usages giving a prime rendition to the client’s emotional connection to Venice through the enhancement in the colors, fabric, furniture and their beautiful Murano Glass Collection.

The layout, makes a clear distinction between the public and the private spaces of the apartment, with bedrooms hiding behind “secret doors” consisting on a 10-foot floor to ceiling pivoting frameless panel. On the other hand, the public space needing to be recognizable, is strongly marked by one axis creating a free-floating public space from the North to the South end of the apartment while adding more privacy between the vestibule and the living room through a prominent art wall and custom made millwork reinforcing its presence to the client’s pieces.
