UWS 1BD
CLIENT: PRIVATE CLIENT
DETAILS: INTERIOR DESIGN
Transforming a compact city apartment into a sanctuary of light, privacy, and comfort is no small feat – but it’s a challenge HUXHUX embraces with creativity and care. A returning client, for whom we previously designed two of his companies near Times Square and the Financial District, wants us to create a thoughtful design for his residence. He desires a home that maximizes the potential of even a modest footprint, resulting in a space that feels expansive, functional, and uniquely personal.
Our process began with a close collaboration with the client to understand their daily routines, aesthetic preferences, and long-term goals for the space. We listened deeply to their needs for privacy, storage, and a sense of calm amid the urban bustle. This discovery phase informed every subsequent decision, ensuring that the final design was rooted in the client’s vision and lifestyle.
Material selection was key to creating a sense of warmth and cohesion. We chose a palette of soft neutrals, natural woods, and tactile fabrics, layering textures to add depth and comfort. Subtle blue color accents and curated artwork infuse the home with personality, while reflective surfaces and strategically placed lighting make the apartment feel bright and airy, even on gray city days.
Throughout the project, we remained focused on the client’s desire for a retreat that feels both sophisticated and approachable. The result is an urban apartment that lives much larger than its square footage, offering sanctuary and style in equal measure.
The Upper West 1 Bedroom is a testament to HUXHUX’s belief that great design is about more than aesthetics—it’s about creating spaces that support and inspire every aspect of daily life. For clients seeking to transform their urban homes, this project shows what’s possible when design is both imaginative and deeply personal.
