Upper West Side Apartment
Originally a duplex, this Upper West Side apartment was expanded when the client acquired the adjacent unit. 1100 Architect combined the two spaces into a cohesive whole through careful detailing and a unified material palette. A new breakfast area was added to the kitchen, creating a transition zone that opens views across the apartment. Polished materials like concrete, marble, and white lacquer are balanced by softer elements such as bleached wood and linen. The interior emits a modern warmth, with a focus on natural light and spatial flow.
