Honoring her clients’ wishes for a contemporary, yet comfortable home, Jasmine Lam opted for soft grays and blues that complement the expansive skyline vistas from this unit in the Herzog & de Meuron–designed 56 Leonard in Tribeca.
Judge Harry Heissmann praises a “creative urban design that incorporates great art and classic shapes,” while judge Alex Papachristidis describes the space as “very soothing.”
For this light-filled West Chelsea apartment overlooking the High Line, B Interior founder Sharon Blaustein chose contemporary furnishings with clean lines, including a pair of purple Gio Ponti armchairs that add a pop of color to the otherwise neutral palette. “The space is elegant and metropolitan,” says judge Analisse Taft-Gersten, who also admired custom paneling surrounding the television in the living area: “quite smart and functional.”
Sag Harbor–based decorator Tamara Magel conjured a sophisticated aerie within a turn-of-the-20th-century Tribeca warehouse that was recently converted into condominiums by BKSK Architects. The restrained palette, natural materials such as marble and wood, and plenty of highly textured fabrics make “the apartment seem luxe, but the layered, nuanced shades lend a beautiful dimension,” says judge Lori Weitzner. “One can feel at ease here.”
