Architecture, design and art coalesce to create an understated sophistication in this New York apartment. Located in the coveted Flatiron district known for Gramercy Park, Union Square Market, chic restaurants and the emerging Silicon Alley technology area, this inviting, warm, airy loft was designed as a showcase for entertaining and an extensive contemporary art collection. Janson Goldstein Architects floor plan features 11 feet ceilings, wide doorways and a free flow of rooms. Floating tinted Venetian plaster walls divide the space elegantly, with a Craig Roberts Associates designed lighting system that can switch modes effortlessly providing both ambient and specific art lights in the apartment. Materials give the clean-line space depth and a cozy grace. The loft is centrally air conditioned and presents an elegant balance between defined and open space, achieved with a series of carefully conceived horizontal and vertical planes. The public sector, with a strong processional quality, is composed of generous entry gallery, dining, living, bedroom currently used as a media area and a complete bar with wine cooler, ice maker and dishwasher. The private spaces include a gracious master bedroom, a private guest suite, a library, three full bathrooms, and a fully fitted stainless steel chef's kitchen with separate utility room complete with a Maytag washer and dryer.
