This West Village apartment, designed for a young and growing family, is perched above the Hudson River where the sunlight is ample and the views are tremendous. To capture these vistas, we framed key moments— of the river, the cityscape, historic facades, the Empire State spire, the Statue of Liberty— as locus points of the family’s daily activities. Their love for entertaining friends, playing with their children, watching sporting events, and sharing family meals determined how to organize the internal flow of the apartment.
