DECORATION

LOBBY RENOVATION
47 EAST 88th STREET, NEW YORK
Within a beautiful Upper East side building at Madison and 88th this lobby was redesigned and redecorated in collaboration with Eric Cohler Incorporated.  The renovations unified the vestibule, lobby, and service spaces with one consistent design for paneling and architectural embellishment; opened up the perceived space of the room to increase its drama while providing better seating areas, and improved all lighting conditions. 

RESIDENCE FOR AN ARTIST
142 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, NY
Designed for a young painter, this 2,650 square foot full floor apartment on Fifth Avenue was decorated in a restrained neoclassical style to provide the best backdrop for the artist’s paintings.  The combined living and dining room were subdivided by the layout of the furniture to create separate living, sitting and dining areas in the apartment.  The renovations also included refinishing all floors; painting the walls, trim and cabinetry; new window treatments; new furniture acquisition and arrangement.

PUBLIC HALLWAY RENOVATION
190 EAST 72nd STREET
NEW YORK, NY
Only six feet wide and over sixty feet long, the public hallways of this New York City apartment building were in desperate need of renovation. Dark and out of date, the existing hallways were unpleasant at best.  Through an extensive shareholder selection and design process, five decorative options were created.  In each scheme new lighting, moldings, hardware, carpet, signage, wallcovering and other finishes were added to improve the appearance of these hallways.

LOBBY RENOVATION
PARK AVENUE, NEW YORK
This Park Avenue lobby is being redesigned and redecorated in collaboration with Eric Cohler Incorporated with a scheduled completion of August 2007.  A new ceiling is being added to the vestibule to replace an inappropriate modern addition; the lobby is being renovated to remove old mirrors, to create new postal sorting and service areas, and new paneling and decorative detail is being added throughout.
