Lennon & Baskin Apartment
New York City
1992-2007
Accompanying a move from New York City's more liberal west side to staid Park Avenue, our clients' stylistic leanings matured from clean contemporary to clean classical.
To retain this love of contemporary transparency and effusive light, but accommodate the new maturation with traditional rooms, the plan was pushed and pulled until optimal views and openness were available throughout the apartment. New interior windows, overlapping halls, and angled foyers all contribute to maximum inter-room communication. The new Kitchen panoptically functions as central command post.
To accommodate a wide-ranging collection of modern works, the classic pre-war apartment was kept cool in tone and detail with an invigorating shot of cherry cabinetry, occasional marble, and updated lighting.
