Tribeca 2 Bedroom

CLIENT: PRIVATE CLIENT
DETAILS: INTERIOR DESIGN

The Tribeca 2 Bedroom project exemplifies creative problem-solving, light optimization, and flexible living, showcasing our ability to turn design challenges into distinctive features. Located in one of downtown Manhattan’s most desirable neighborhoods, this residence was reimagined for a young family seeking both openness and adaptability.

Our design process began with a comprehensive analysis of the apartment’s existing conditions and the client’s evolving needs. Through collaborative workshops, we explored how the family interacts on a daily basis, identifying opportunities to enhance flow, storage, and the overall sense of spaciousness.

HUXHUX managed every phase of the project, from the initial concept to construction administration and final styling. Our integrated approach ensured that every detail—from lighting placement to furniture selection—worked in harmony to support the family’s needs and aspirations.

This residential project faced two unexpected challenges. First, the vacant lot adjacent to our client’s residence was slated for construction, which meant that all the windows on that side of the building would be removed and bricked over. We tackled the closure of the windows by implementing effective artificial lighting strategies to compensate for the loss of natural light. Additionally, we employed a soft, reflective material palette to amplify brightness, incorporating wide-plank oak floors, matte-finish cabinetry, and resilient textiles to ensure the home is both beautiful and practical. Subtle pops of color and carefully curated art contribute a sense of playfulness and individuality. The end result is a home that feels airy and uplifting, with sunlight animating the space from morning to evening.

Second, the client wanted to transform the two-bedroom apartment into a configuration suitable for either a bachelor pad or a corporate apartment. HUXHUX Design Inc. examined multiple scenarios for reconfiguring the apartment and designed a flexible space that accommodates various scenarios—from a cozy suite for intimate family time to a large communal table for gatherings, and a welcoming lounge for entertaining guests—without compromising light or sightlines.
