JAM have been Shortlisted for Interior Design Scheme – Americas Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

JAM initiated a redesign of this modern beautifully detailed pied-a-terre that cleverly integrates function with luxurious materials and textures. The homeowner purchased this apartment in original 1993 condition, complete with tight and awkwardly segmented spaces – it felt tiny. The client wanted to open up the space and were open to the idea that the only walls would be those surrounding the bathrooms. The new living spaces would be defined with cabinetry, raised platforms and furniture.

A lengthy and enjoyable design process looking at wide range of materials, textures, finishes and furnishings resulted in a space that feels expansive and special. Attention and exploration were given to each detail – from the slight space between the terrazzo platform and the floor to make it appear as if it’s floating, to the way the stone floor wraps around from the powder room to the master bath to help define the private areas of the home. Each area of the home has a story full of meaning and design expression.

The key aspect of this project was that after a career in medicine, the redesign became a way for the homeowner to truly express their creative interests and bring together the materials, textures and art that they fell in love with during the design process with JAM. The design optimally integrates aesthetics with function in a way that feels seamless and natural in the space. The result is a way of living, not just furniture and finishes within a physical space.

This apartment is on an upper floor in a Manhattan high-rise with expansive views of the Hudson and surrounding city buildings. The design of this space remains calm enough to feel as though you are floating in the sky and softens the surrounding urban environment.
