A Symphony of Space and Artistry

Transitional spaces in the residence flow effortlessly, marked by bold sculptural elements and dynamic pops of color. A striking purple chair becomes a focal point, set against the geometric purity of a simple white table and an intricate wall tapestry.

The dining area presents a cohesive ensemble of functional elegance, with sleek black chairs encircling a white table. A golden sculptural partition adds a layer of opulent texture, harmonizing the modern with the historical.

Intimate Corners of Thought and Reflection

In the library, custom bronze and glass bookcases rise against grey leather panels, cradling first edition novels. This space is a testament to the owners’ passion for literature and design, offering a sophisticated retreat for contemplation.

Art takes center stage in the corridor, with bold contemporary works breathing life into the serene backdrop. Each piece beckons a pause, inviting reflection amidst the residence’s calm progression.

The bedroom exudes a peaceful elegance, with soft lighting enhancing the serene color palette. It’s a sanctuary where soft furnishings and art blend into a restful harmony.

Finally, the marble-clad bathroom reflects grandeur, with meticulously selected veining amplifying the sense of luxury. The timeless material pays homage to the building’s legacy, providing a sumptuous conclusion to the residence’s interior journey.

In the Plaza Residence, gne Architecture has transcended mere living spaces, crafting a home that fuses the spirit of New York’s past with the personalized vision of its inhabitants.
