An art and light-filled historic interior renovation
Located in the Faubourg Marigny, this two-bedroom, two-bath apartment is a serene setting for a couple’s art and furniture collection. Studio West’s architecture and interior design was inspired by the building’s historic architecture, large floor-to-ceiling slip head windows, and expansive wrap-around gallery.
Historic discoveries and thoughtful modifications
The second-floor apartment, had been used for offices for 20 years and as two apartments prior to that time, was meticulously renovated. During selective demolition, Studio West was able to discover which walls were original to the layout and the design was modified to reflect the layout of the original single apartment unit more accurately. The existing 1920s American Standard Rose Du Barry pink bathroom was retained and restored, which included sourcing and relocating an original matching toilet from across the country.
