Westside Apartment

The owners of this apartment had opposing style preferences. The wife was attracted to Victorian gingerbread, while the husband wanted stainless steel. This project attempted to bring the two styles together. The foyer and living spaces maintain moldings and traditional lighting, while the bathrooms and kitchens are more contemporary. The kitchen contains white stained wood cabinets, which refer to the style of the traditional upper Westside apartments, but the details are simple and modern.
