Chelsea Apartment, New York
Photographs: Eric Petschek
A dark and divided interior in West Chelsea, Manhattan, was transformed into a bright, loft-like space. The apartment is on the third floor of a small 1910 apartment building. Measuring 11.5 by 50 feet total (520 sf), the apartment’s layout is typical to many prewar apartments in New York. The renovation created a clear distinction between the western wall – along which the apartment’s utilities, services and hardware are located – and the eastern wall, that was left blank to provide room for art display. The renovation makes use of custom design details combined with off-the-shelf products. The fire place, for example, is an original (and functioning) fixture of the apartment. Its brick core is wrapped by a cut-and-folded sheet made of stainless steel, giving the room a contemporary edge. The metallic effect is echoed by use of a lighting fixture made of brass, which hangs above the dining table. The kitchen features “hacked” IKEA cabinets combined with integrated appliances and a custom marble slab.
