ART DECO INSPIREDAfter designing several outstanding model apartments for this luxury building John Robert Wiltgen Design was commissioned to combine three units into one gracious home. Living in a large traditional home in the suburbs, the clients gave JRW a list of all the things they wanted for their in-town residence. The designer recommended they purchase three units instead of two, providing sufficient space to fulfill all their wishes. Although their children are grown and they travel extensively, this couple’s home in the city has a bedroom for everyone and a lavish master suite. Living RoomClean simple lines and a sophisticated color scheme enhanced the stark modern architecture of this building. Upholstered valances at the top of each window conceal blinds that block the sun. Wet BarThis JRWD wet bar is finished with black lacquer and inset with hand carved Art Deco inspired glass panels backed with silver leaf. Custom Rug RenderingThe intricate pattern of this rug beautifully repeats the pattern of the carved glass in the wet bar. The JRWD team designed both extraordinary pieces. Master TubOriental marble tile with Vanilla marble inserts and large wall mirrors surround this spacious spa setting the stage for extraordinary furnishings, fixtures and art. Master BathAn Art Deco vanity made of cow bone and silver leaf anchors the luxurious master bath filled with beautiful materials. Guest BathThe guest bath vanity was designed to “float" off the floor and visually expand this small space. Custom cracked glass on the vanity cabinet and shower door provides visual interest and hides water spots. FoyerJRWD opened this once closed in foyer, creating a dramatic focal point that leads to all the rooms in the home. Original 200-year old Biedermeier chairs, voted Best in Show at the Armory Arts and Antiques Show in NYC, flank the Art Deco console. KitchenUtilizing every inch of space in this kitchen, JRWD created the utmost in style, easy care, high performance and convenience. Kitchen RenderingThis rendering of the kitchen gave the client a reliable view of what the finished project would look like, eliminating guesswork. Kitchen Pass-ThroughTo maintain architectural consistency, the same rift cut maple was used for the kitchen cabinets, family room paneling and doors throughout the home. A pass through was created to provide natural light and conversation with family and friends. |
