PROPERTY
A six storey townhouse in New York’s Upper West Side, originally built in 1893, home to a couple with an interest in the arts. The impressive home covers 8,000 square feet with an additional 1,700 square feet of private garden and terrace space, and was bought by a couple with a big interest in the arts and culture scene – though their professions are an Equity portfolio manager and a data analyst in the culinary industry.
The owners asked interior design firm Gachot to help them turn the six storey townhouse into a home that would showcase their ever-expanding collection of art. They asked for a clean, “gallery-like” space in which their collection – ranging from 17th century Rembrandt etchings to contemporary mixed media works by Sophie Calle – could take centre stage.
The result is an approachable yet rigorously edited home that reflects the clients’ collector sensibility and taste for clean lines – all infused with Gachot’s signature warmth and easy comfort.
