WEST VILLAGE TOWNHOUSE
Manhattan, New York
This Manhattan townhouse underwent a complete gut renovation, reimagined through the lens of contemporary soft-minimal design. A refined New York City interior that balances function and form, embracing restraint, clarity, and enduring beauty. The result is a high-end residence rooted in quiet-luxury style, tailored to modern urban living.
A calm, neutral palette defines the interior. Soft plaster walls, pale wood finishes, and light-toned stone surfaces establish a warm yet understated foundation. These are contrasted by darker wood tones and patinated metal accents, bringing depth and quiet contrast to each space. The layered textures and natural materials create a cohesive, tactile environment.
MINIMAL DESIGN ELEMENTS WERE USED INTENTIONALLY TO ENHANCE THE INTERIORS. DETAILS SUCH AS FLUSH BASEBOARD, RECESSED HANDRAIL, AND FRAMELESS DOORWAYS CONTRIBUTE TO A SENSE OF VISUAL CALM. A QUIET-LUXURY INTERPRETATION OF TIMELESS MINIMAL DESIGN.
