Mark Hotel, Private Residence

Project Overview

This project began as a collaboration with the homeowner before taking possession of a newly constructed apartment. This early involvement was crucial in elevating the project’s overall integrity, ensuring the apartment met the highest standards of craftsmanship. This process ensured the builder addressed all issues before our custom work began, allowing us to start with a clean slate and avoid needing to redo or correct the builder’s work.

Objective

The renovation was a meticulous process, transforming the apartment from a standard builder-grade residence to a bespoke home that reflected the homeowner’s unique style. A sophisticated palette of custom paints and wallpapers was selected. We fitted the empty closets with custom interiors to maximize storage, blending form and function. We transformed the spare room into a dual-purpose home office and guest bedroom. This innovative design was crucial for maximizing the apartment’s functionality without compromising style.

Unique Element

Another critical upgrade was integrating a comprehensive home automation system that connected everything from motorized roller shades and drapery tracks to televisions and air conditioning systems. We introduced new lighting features that enhanced the space’s functionality and accentuated the intricate design elements.

Custom Creations

We meticulously reproduced custom fabrics and drapery panels to replicate the apartment’s standard of decor, including fabric panels for the entrance area and custom fabrics for the restored furniture. Highly specialized floor finishers, with whom we’ve had a 20+ year relationship, applied a led-cured burnishing hard wax oil finish on the white oak flooring, enhancing the wood’s natural beauty while providing a durable, maintainable surface. 

By being involved from the very beginning, we ensured that the final result was a seamless blend of modern luxury, functionality, and the highest standards of craftsmanship with the homeowner’s personal touch.
