Conceived as a quietly refined pied‑à‑terre for a traveling art collector, this ongoing townhouse renovation distills city living down to its most tranquil essentials. Pale sage walls and satin‑washed floors form a whisper‑soft backdrop for sculptural furnishings: a low, upholstered sofa that sweeps like a brushstroke across the living room, a pedestal dining table carved from veined marble, and a platform bed that appears to float in the morning light. Throughout, a palette of cooled eucalyptus, burnished bronze, and merlot punctuations bridges sleek stainless cabinetry with hand‑troweled plaster surfaces, threading a sense of collected calm from kitchen to bedroom. Overscale canvases—one a moody abstraction, another an intimate vintage portrait—anchor the spaces with gallery‑like poise, hinting at the client’s personal archive. Open shelving and barely‑there bronze lamps are placed with surgical precision, allowing light to glide unobstructed across matte and polished planes. The result is a proposal that feels at once meticulously edited and warmly lived‑in—a modern sanctuary crafted to hush the city’s rhythm and celebrate the slow beauty of everyday rituals.
