With breathtaking views across downtown Philadelphia and out to the surrounding countryside, this Rittenhouse Square apartment needed a complete redo of architecture and decorating. Working with Brian McCarthy, we redesigned the full apartment — creating an entirely new floorplan with an elegant entry hall and living, library, and dining rooms flooded with light. The mouldings are a modern take on the traditional and frame the rooms in a comfortable but contemporary manner. The decorating reinforces the architecture through elegant plaster wall treatments, colors, rich silks, linens, and woven and printed cottons. Clearly separated public and private spaces contribute to the ease and comfort of living in this apartment whether entertaining or simply relaxing at home.
