A service elevator off the kitchen makes catering extremely functional and easy. If the party is informal, all doors are left open to make the flow throughout the apartment even more open. The bedrooms mirror the color scheme found in the more public areas of the apartment but are slightly more formal. The oldest daughter's bedroom would be any child's dream. A custom-designed cabinet lines one wall and has numerous drawers and vertical openings for holding clothes and other treasures.
Shelves lining both sides of the cabinet provide ample space for books and stuffed animals.
A built-in desk offers a place for quiet study with easy access to books on the shelf overhead. The warmth, openness and flexibility of this New York apartment is evident from the front door to the terrace. It is the perfect space for an active family and a professional couple who enjoys entertaining. The richness of the wall provides a striking contrast to the lighter hickory floor. The floating, dropped ceiling of stained bird's-eye maple adds another graceful use of wood in the apartment.
