Ruhl Walker Architects designed custom furniture and a new, luminous atrium for a city dwelling that can now host its resident’s large social gatherings.

“[The owner] needed a good working kitchen, the ability to seat up to 20 at dining tables, and accommodate over 100 for cocktails and fundraisers,” Walker said.

Since a sophisticated, modern look was imperative to the architectural design, the same was expected of the furnishings. A B&B Italia Charles sofa, chaise lounge, and Piccola Papilio chairs fill the living room. Trípode Floor Lamps by Santa & Cole frame the sofa | Photo by Michael J. Lee
“The entire house is unified with oak flooring with a custom warm gray stain. This material is repeated on the stair and atrium handrails,” Walker said. The entryway’s bench has a custom Tabu Caleidolegno veneered wood base.
