The mixture of textures and patterns in the apartment give it a contemporary feel while highlighting the traditional roots: in exposed brick and wood beams. Tied in with sleek furniture and an apropos floor rug, we can't imagine a better way to escape the hustle and bustle of New York City than in this chic oasis.

Screen porch open to the kitchen/eating area, via a 12' wide sliding french door, connecting and extending the indoor living space to the outside.

This dynamic living room has a subtle color story with pops of red-orange modern art pieces making it feel cozy and inviting. The use of a glass coffee table lightens the space rather than using a weighted piece. Photography By Christopher Bradley
