Designing and decorating a city apartment with limited square footage can seem like a grueling task. You require optimal furniture arrangements that maximize functionality without looking overly cluttered; plus the color scheme is of great significance, to make the home look airy and breezy. But these challenges are only amplified when you're designing a space for more than one or two people. How about for a family of five?
Case in point: this cleverly designed, homely yet stylish New York apartment. 'This one bedroom, pied-a-terre of 715 square feet is located in Manhattan’s iconic Richard Meier & Partners 685 First Avenue building; one of the tallest buildings in New York City,' says interior designer Ahmad AbouZanat of Project AZ. 'The client wanted a space that felt cozy yet fun. Additionally, it was important for the homeowners that the design included the favorite color scheme of each family member (made up of parents and three children) as this home would be used by all family members at once on certain occasions and oftentimes separately in smaller groups.'
