This East Village Loft Captures the "Urban Aunt" Aesthetic — This is How to do Apartment Living in 2024

A textured living room with patterned sofa.

The Urban Aunt trend is sweeping across our social media feeds, and this quintessential New York City loft, designed by Evan Edward, perfectly encapsulates the look. 'It's a sumptuous but relaxed hideout in the city,' says Josh Evan, co-founder of Evan Edward.

Previously owned by the renowned fashion model Erin Wasson, this space draws inspiration from the rich hues of the original brick walls and exposed beams, as well as from the current owners' passion for travel, art, and their appreciation of live music. Primarily used as a pied-à-terre, it serves as both a fun space and a place for inspiration. 'The authenticity and energy of the space is very powerful,' says Josh. 'We shared this appreciation with our clients.'

The loft has an open plan with a large great room divided into three zones. 'As the homeowners embark on their journeys, they continually create lasting memories and carry fragments of the rich histories of the places they explore.' says Josh. 'We share a history with this property, having collaborated on it with the renowned model Erin Wasson, its former owner, who used the loft as her East Coast residence. Our current clients purchased the space as a pied-à-terre, maintaining its use as a place for entertainment and inspiration,' says Josh Evan. Here, we speak to the design team to find out more about the creation of this luxe, boho modern home.
