About The Upper East Suite Interior design residenziale
La Upper East Suite è un progetto di interior design residenziale realizzato in un edificio del 1924 nato come apartment hotel, situato nell'Upper East Side Historic District di New York. L'appartamento è stato ristrutturato per una coppia che colleziona apparecchi di illuminazione e arredi Art Déco degli anni Trenta. Le opere in legno a tutta altezza, tra cui librerie, mobili contenitori e armadi, sono state prefabbricate in una falegnameria e assemblate in cantiere. Porte scorrevoli in vetro texturizzato e partizioni lignee consentono di aprire o chiudere gli ambienti. Le superfici a specchio conferiscono all'interno una maggiore sensazione di apertura. Il progetto introduce spazi di contenimento e uno studio all'interno di una pianta storica vincolata.

- Production Technology
- The design required high precision due to extensive full height woodwork, including bookshelves, storage cabinets, and wardrobes with seamless linear designs. These elements were prefabricated in a millwork shop for precise cutting and assembled on site. Full height glass mirrors required exact positioning and seamless integration. Additionally, the installation of a single slab marble backsplash in the kitchen and large format marble in the bathroom demanded meticulous craftsmanship.
- Design Challenge
- As a protected historic building, preserving its architectural heritage was essential. Originally designed as an apartment hotel suite, the layout imposed spatial limitations, making it challenging to adapt the apartment for modern urban living. The key challenge was maximizing functionality within these constraints - integrating storage, privacy, and flexibility without compromising the building's historical integrity. Balancing heritage preservation with contemporary needs required careful planning and innovative solutions.
- Research
- Located centrally in the Upper East Side, surrounded by classic pre-war buildings and completed in 1924, the owners aimed to capture and preserve the atmosphere of that era. The team conducted targeted research into iconic 1930s Art Deco interiors nearby, including The Carlyle, The Mark, and 740 Park Avenue.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the rich history of this Pre-war apartment on the Upper East Side of New York, the designers sought to revive the elegance of the 1930s. Encouraged by the collection of lighting and furniture from that era, carefully curated by the residents, they seamlessly integrated these pieces into the newly acquired residence, creating a functional yet refined living space. Their approach was guided by meticulous spatial planning and historical research, balancing period aesthetics with modern comfort.
- Project Duration
- The project started in June 2024 in New York City and finished in February 2025 in New York City.
- Operation Flow
- This residence was transformed from a former apartment hotel suite, with the design maximizing flexibility despite the fixed layout. Textured glass sliding doors were added to the kitchen and bedroom, while the study features wooden sliding partitions. When open, these doors create a fluid, interactive space; when closed, they provide privacy. Strategically placed mirrored surfaces throughout enhance the sense of space, making the interior feel more open and dynamic.
