Formerly a hotel built in the early 1900, this Upper West Side studio has been completely transformed into a bright and stylish contemporary home full of space-saving design tricks where a couple can comfortably cook and entertain. Drawing inspiration from the Parisian Beaux-arts style of the building, the team at NYC Design Studio Duro Deco added various arched frames and curves to create a sense of height and space, softening the edges and enhancing the flow of the home. Moving the kitchen into the living space created one large open living area. The clever addition of a custom made ‘Murphy Table’ to fit in a 4 seater dining area folds neatly up onto the wall and appears like an artwork when not in use. The materials used in the kitchen have been thoughtfully selected to reflect light from the large window across the room, whilst a frosted glass bathroom door allows light from the bathroom window to filter through to the rest of the apartment.

33sqm isn't that small.
very practical and careful design!
btw. I think I know this building : ) )
The dining table is GREAT, I love it!
Beautiful, I loved it!
Love the natural light. Needs a pop of color like art on the walls or a bookcase. Feels a bit cold.
LOVE the building! Great use of space. I'd like to see some art on the walls, even if its framed prints. Too many blank white walls.
Oh how I love this. The design is very impressive. I just wish some of these floorplans were more culturally inclusive. Where I come from, the food is cooked with so many spices and the smell would spread everywhere inside the apartment. I would add a sliding door to separate the bedroom from the living/kitchen area. I love…love the arch in the living room.
I love the dining table.
can't give this thumbs up..just average design…should have get wardrobe with bed.
I have a big aura and wide mind so i need a lot of space. 🤗
No tiny minimalistic for me 🤗
Feels so homely like in the hospital 👍
Looks good, but don’t get fooled because this was shot with an ultra wide lens.
An awesome apartment in an awesome city. The architect has done a great job!!! I want to live here!!!! Is this apartment featured in one of your publications? If so, can you tell me which one? Thanks
I'd call this a 1 bedroom and not a studio, nice space.
Too white for me, but it could be fun to decorate and fill with plants. The hanging nighttable lamps are cool too.
I left NYC many years ago. I will never go back. I am very happy in my "mansion" of 5,000 sq ft compared to the tiny, uncomfortable rat traps of NYC today. My mortgage is cheaper than the rent for these.
Beautiful
The murphy table was the smartest decision ever💯
Where are the books? A lot of these videos have like 5-15 books. Is it some staging rule? Do the designers just hate books and don't want to include space for them? They could fill the archway with books. And have wrap around bookshelves on the wall. Mostly just don't see enough books.
This is an incredible space. Can't think of anything I'd change. It all works and is beautiful and feels so calm. Can you tell me the brand of kitchen cabinets and the brand of that gorgeous sofa? Thanks so much.
This is great work!
Well done!
why is this apt considered small? Its far bigger than most of the apts I have lived in. confused by this
The tv are is ugly, as is the lamps, chairs. But the rest is cool!
This is Marvelous!
Beautiful
I really like this space. My only quibble is that I would prefer a laundry area within the apartment, but that's just me. Given the small area, I can understand why there isn't one. Otherwise, I love it!
It’s so nice to see a beautiful redesign in my home town! Please show more New York City projects!! The architecture and design complimented each other so wonderfully!
Real nice.
What about small apts. with no view? Any solutions?
Looks really cool
I like that multifunction dining table. Also, the arches in living room and bathroom. So pretty.
Even though nyc has small places they have the best storage system ive ever seen.
Great job with the space!
The bathroom wins. It would be magnificent if it had in unit laundry. That’s the only thing I can’t get past
Love this simplicity. The flip down table acting as an art is so amazing
Beautifully put together. Feels very spacious. A very clever use of the space xx
🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👩👩👧👧
stunning!!!!!!
what's the reno budget for something like that?
