JN Residence

New York, USA

2 0 2 4

From the street, the building is a quiet, weathered presence in West Chelsea. Inside, the home unfolds with unexpected drama — a narrow stair leads to a soaring double-height space bookended by a collection of living spaces. A skylight adds to the rare sense of openness, offering a calm refuge in busy NYC. Designed for a newly married couple who love to entertain, the home reveals itself in sequence: a compressed entry sequence expanding into a voluminous room that lifts the spaces around it.

What began as a light renovation grew into a full gut transformation defined by clarity, proportion, and quiet discipline that contrasts with it’s historic shell. The once-enclosed kitchen; now seamlessly connected to the living and dining room, has become the social heart of the home, balancing openness with ease.

Each of the rooms in this generous penthouse carries its own identity through shifts in color and material. Doors closed, spaces feel distinct; open, they flow in harmony.

The result is a home of contrasts and coherence — where compression gives way to release, and everyday life is elevated through simple, deliberate design.
