New York based interior studio were asked to redesign and renovate a home located in a quiet crop of pre-war apartments near Park Avenue.

Peering through the custom walnut veneer and marble alley kitchen, we’re particularly drawn to the breakfast room which reveals a classic British atmosphere through its showcase of UK craftsmanship.

The refined atmosphere reaches new levels in the master bedroom. In this provate space, Phillip Jeffries Silver Peony wallpaper lends a subtle texture which is punctuated by the Antony Sconce. A Gio Poliform side table neighbours a custom upholstered bed head with Larsen fabric.
We couldn’t think of an apartment more fitting to its Park Avenue neighbourhood than this Upper East Side Renovation. Ronen Lev have interlaced the new and old, neutral and ornate for an entirely polished and petite New York residence.
