This renovation in the historic Montgomery Ward building is an interplay between the minimalist and the material, blending the apartment’s architectural qualities with the owner’s collection of contemporary art, antiques, and modernist furniture. A reconfigured layout orients the main living space toward an expansive terrace and city views. Subtle shifts in ceiling height and strategic openings frame views and enhance flow, while painterly stone surfaces, textured millwork, and subtle lighting introduce depth and character. At every scale, the project reflects a careful dialogue between restraint and expression.
