Another Gorgeous Campion Platt Space - Contemporary White Soho Loft


I especially love this Campion Platt designed condo for it's 
luxurious textures.  Love the soft shaggy rug with velvet, 
mirrors and other glamorous yet comfortable fabrics and
touches.


I'm always a fan of sun rooms and this one is super cozy!


 Chic white dining space.



Isn't the stone in the bathroom just fabulous?


Gorgeous backlit Onyx countertop in the bathroom.


A fantastic design for a smaller room.  The 
layers really make the room cozy.  Platt
uses so many luxurious layers great space
planning.


A warm bedroom with colors used in a subtle way.


Can I please have this bedroom?


 Premium balcony and outdoor space in NYC.



If you like Campion Platt's designs, I highly recommend
the above book.  I just received it this week and the book
covers some of the best residential spaces and homes that
Platt has designed.  Platt manages to layer with 
sophistication in a way that is streamlined and simple - 
his designs do not seem overdone or too much.

Campion Platt - Fabulous NYC Architect and Designer


I'm really not sure what took me so long to discover the New York
City based architect and designer Campion Platt.  His designs are
utterly gorgeous!  Not to mention that he has a great eye for space
planning and colors as you can see from the above image.  This is 
New York City apartment and he has really put the available space
in the open living space to good use.  A signature of Platt's is luxury
and texture.  He always pays attention to fabric and texture.  The 
above space not only looks chic but it looks very cozy.

 Another look at that fabulous blue couch.


 And the backs of the lush blue velvet chairs.


 The dining area save space by using a cozy banquette
seating.  I totally want one of these for my own nook.


A statement piece of artwork
hangs above a cool console.

Built-ins in the study.
 

 The study has orange as main color with the
seating and as an accent color in the lamp 
and pillows.

Here is the second bedroom and the size of the bedroom is 
really nice for NYC.  I adore the mirrored tri-level end 
table used in this room.  Where can I get one?

And the master piece - the master bedroom which has gorgeous 
large windows, a fluffy white bed and a comfortable yet chic 
looking curved sofa.  What a great use of space.  Different 
functions without the room feeling crowded with storage and
cabinets lining the wall underneath the windows.  This 
bedroom has such a light, airy and cozy feel to it. 


Outdoor space in NYC is always coveted and this condo has the 
perfect amount of balcony space - enough for comfortable chairs,
table and champagne of course.  I'm now officially a fan of 
Campion Platt's work.  What were things you particularly liked
in the design of this condo?

Study in Pink: Betsy Johnson's Former Pink New York City Apartment


Betsy Johnson sold her very pink New York City penthouse 
apartment a while back but I think it's worth doing a post
on her over the top pink apartment.  I adore the yellow chairs
she uses in her dining room as shown in the photo above.
A very nice set of mid-century modern chairs if I must say
so myself.

The view from her penthouse apartment (listed at
1,660 square feet with a 1,000 square feet private 
deck.)  Original asking price was 3.6 million.




Betsy had very cleverly sectioned her bedroom area 
off with a black screen and pink chair and ottoman.

A different look at how she sectioned her bed from
the rest of the living space in her loft like apartment.
Love the huge pink rug she laid on the floor in this 
corner of the apartment.

A more pristine bathroom in whites.


All the floors in the apartment are ebony which 
really sets off the pink and other colors in the space.

I absolutely adore the hot pink chaise.  The black staircase 
leads up to the 1,000 square foot private deck up top.


A closer look at at the entrance to the kitchen from the dining area.

I love that she mixed something very industrial like
stainless steel finishes with pink.  It's not a combination
most people would think of but it works in an eclectic
way.

To full size sofas facing each other with sheepskin
rugs makes for a very comfortable and luxurious
living area.



You can tell that Betsy not only loves pink but mid-century modern 
touches like the lamp and coffee table in the sitting area.


 At one point, Betsy had redecorated the apratment and
ELLE DECOR UK had featured her apartment in their magazine.


More pink!

 A Very cool portrait.
 
 
 

She went from pink to yellow at one point. Her apartment may be 
over the top but you have to give her credit for being bold in her
taste.

Miles Redd's New York City Townhome

Recently, I did a post on sofas and couches that Miles Redd has used
in his designs.  The subject of this post is Miles Redd's own New York
City town home.  What a fantastic facade don't you think?  Superchic 
with monotone paint, striped awnings and European style shutters that
frame the outside of all the windows.

The door is painted in a very pretty Robin's Egg sort of blue.

This kitchen has got to be one of the most ogled kitchens on the web.
And of course, it belongs to none other than Miles Redd.  I'm not even
a fan of black kitchens and I'm in complete awe of this one.  Lacquered
black walls and cabinets with a unique countertop material - glass.  It's
not very practical but it sure is unique.  I bet it made you look twice.  The
flooring is gorgeous as are the lamps he used under the cabinets. 
 

State of the art appliances including a TV monitor built in.


A look from above those glass countertops.
 

Miles always pays special attention to doors and these zebra covered 
doors with nail head trimming is no different.  Super fun and chic.
 Here's that gorgeous crimson tufted corner sectional I just drool over.


It makes one at least consider pink as a paint color 
even if one has never considered it before.


Here's a beautiful photo of Miles REdd's bedroom.
A picture that captures a gorgeous mood.


The same bedroom with Miles Redd on his own bed.  
I love that he tufted the headboard all the way to the top.

 

The bedroom leads to a completely mirrored dressing room and bathroom.


Talk about stepping into a fantasy.  You'd probably imagine a dressing
like this would belong to an old Hollywood silent film star. 

 You can see the sink and vanity from here and the marble encased 
bath tub in the mirror opposite of the vanity.  Totally over the top.
I'm not entirely sure I could live in a room covered entirely in 
mirrors but it's a cool room to check out.
   

When it comes to Miles REdd's outdoor space, it is absolutely
like a dream - straight out of a fantasy.  I love the color palette
and all of the things he has done with it.

 

Simply amazing with the turquoise Trompe-l'oeil trellis which is 
out of this world.  The black and white harlequin patterend floors
really finishes the space off.
