West Village Apartment by Andrew Franz Architect

Introducing the chic West Village Apartment, designed by Andrew Franz Architect in 2020! Located in the iconic West Village neighborhood of New York City, this 1100sf (102m2) apartment has been thoroughly renovated to create a space of modern elegance.

Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, pivoting glass louvers, and free-floating millwork allow the ceiling to stretch continuously throughout, creating a sense of spaciousness. Integrated and efficient storage helps keep the interior clutter-free, while warm and inviting textures including end-grain parquet flooring, rift white oak cabinetry, forest green doors, misty ceramic tile, and contrasting slabs of terrazzo and schist bring a sense of comfort and style.

Nestled on Fire Island, New York, the Fire Island House is a modern guest house designed by Andrew Franz Architect in 2020.

The house features an internal courtyard that connects the old and new parts of the building, and acts as an extension of the indoor-outdoor living space. The addition references the original building in geometry, cedar siding, and jalousie windows, but without mimicking the details. The ground-floor outdoor living areas are connected to the elevated decks by a new cantilevered stair seemingly floating away from the house. A simple palette of materials is used throughout to remain consistent with the original design.

Come and explore this beautiful house and experience the simplicity and elegance of modern design.
