A family of five in Flatiron: it has a nice ring to it. But after living downtown for years in an open-concept apartment, the parents longed for structure – maybe even a separate kitchen with doors, so the whole home wouldn't sound or smell like a restaurant whenever they fried an egg.
They still loved their home, however. And so it made sense, after purchasing an Upper East Side apartment in a 1930s building, to work with Andrew Magnes Architecture, the firm behind their Flatiron home. Coincidentally, the family had a personal connection to Nate Berkus Associates (their cousin recently worked with the firm on a renovation the family adored), making the A-list design firm an obvious fit to finesse the interiors.
