Interiors: From Warehouse to Warm

Got an interior design project to publish? Send us a note.
Jared Cohee, principal of 20Seven Design, took an old musical instrument manufacturing warehouse in South Williamsburg and transformed it into a two-bedroom apartment. "I basically started with a blank slate," he says, "The budget was not endless, but the clients were open to spending money when the right opportunity presented itself." Those opportunities included one-of-a-kind pieces like a coffee table made from Cohee's design. The aesthetic was minimalist but livable. "We saved splashes of bolder color for the office (second bedroom) and in the small bathroom, with a textured and rich wallpaper on one accent wall, to compliment the otherwise white and metal modern design styles."

The sleek, minimalist aesthetic is not my personal aesthetic, but I do a lot of work for people who love it, and I appreciate good work, no matter what style is happens to be. There are some very nice elements here. The coffee table is the best piece of furniture in the apartment - really nice.

Putting the warm rust/red touches in the bathroom, along with the slate tile really warms the room up, and in my opinion is the most successful room shown. I do also appreciate the detail in the tile finish under the windows. Those kinds of details really can make the room.

Personally, I would have had some kind of window treatment, custom shades in a subtle print, probably to keep, the lines clean, and add more texture and a bit more color. But that's just me.

Nicely done. What you mind sharing were you got the light fixtures from?

call me crazy but that's the gretsch building so it wasn't like he started with bare bones to begin with

I like it, it is very well done.

I hope they didn't pay too much for the coffee table. I'm a simple caveman, a $1k Noguchi one would have worked for me in that space. I guess it's more art then furniture so maybe...
