Soho Loft/The Apartment

Located in an 1882, six-story, red brick building with an intriguing past as department store, the Soho Loft by The Apartment provides a fabulous family space for three.  Here you will find a sculptural stacked-wood fireplace, Marc Sadler Boffi kitchen, a library corner with floating book shelves, and great light and views.  Oh, and you may recognize this apartment from the film, “The Devil Wears Prada.”  Enoy the tour…

I’ll Have What They’re Having

The Boone residence is a renovation of a historical two bedroom private residence in New York City by Richardson Sadeki.

A sweet accessory…

I love a dining room/library combination…

The glass staircase keeps the space open and bright…

Very luxe…I love the neutrals.

Ravine Guest House/Shim-Sutcliffe Architects

The Ravine House by Toronto-based Shim-Sutcliffe Architects has a peaceful and calm presence.  The house is set in a ravine within a lush Canadian landscape.  There is more I can say about this meditative space, but instead, I think I will just say, “ahhhh…”

Ripoll/Joan Puigcorbe

Ripoll by Spanish architect, Joan Puigcorbe, has been added to the work of architectural photographer, Eugueni Pons.  I was drawn to this project by its tasteful simplicity and order.  Puigcorbe says, “architecture is a language through which all the following properties may be expressed: harmony, creativity, happiness, beauty, poetry, complexity, magic, provocation, and culture.  That is our main goal.”  I’d say, mission accomplished…

Time Out

Let’s take a time out.  We can meet after work for a drink, go on to dinner, and then indulge in a nightcap…not to worry, I have it all planned.

Hmmmm…

MR Architecture + Decor….a favorite.  The common denominator of their work is an  aesthetic that focuses on revealing “the poetry in the most rational approach to space, proportion, and light.”  Their work reveals a beautifully calibrated balance between form and function.  As for me, I just like what I see.  Hmmm…given the choice, which would you choose?  Upstate New York house or Soho penthouse?  Either way, it’s a win-win.
