Below: The once- cramped galley kitchen was expanded and given new life with a new Poggenpohl +Segmento kitchen. Push-to-open fl at panels and seamless visual planes defi ne the brand’s signature handleless silhouette, executed in a warm taupe gray. Holly Hunt’s chic Shadow counter stools line the eat-in island. Opposite: In the foyer, a carved wood artwork by Etienne Moyat adds a sense of movement over a bronze bench. and a dynamic marble sculpture. A soft alpaca lounge chair from Gersten’s Lusitano collection—featuring a striking horsehair back—adds unexpected interest. The connected dining room showcases a thoughtful blend of tastes, where the sharp edges of a highly structured dining table are softened by a hand-cast bronze pendant overhead, adorned with petal-like porcelain diff users that emit a soft glow. The kitchen, however, received the biggest transformation, expanding from a cramped galley layout into a sweeping space with a 12-foot-wide island and a sleek, fully outfi tted Poggenpohl kitchen in an alluring taupe-gray. Holly Hunt bar stools and suede-and-brass island pendants complete the look. Taking a more tailored turn, the den pairs bronze metalwork bookshelves with a soft palette, grounded by a merino wool rug and a leather- wrapped desk. A custom pull-out sofa accommodates guests or the couple’s kids. In the foyer, meanwhile, Gersten reclaimed an unused space, recessing it to house a bespoke console and mirror. A sense of cohesion is evident throughout the residence—from the warm tones of the oak paneling and curated textural fabrics to the kinetic artwork and soft elements underfoot. The primary bedroom follows suit, off ering a softer, creamier variation on the theme. “It [the home] almost feels like a hotel suite—it’s very fi nished. The details come together to convey a space that is deeply considered and serene,” says Gersten. ■ 90 DESIGN NYC A&D Building adbuilding.com adbuilding.com A&D Building DESIGN NYC 91
