West Village Eye Candy. Featured in the New York Times Magazine the West Village home of architect Ghiora Aharoni will surely leave you wanting to see more (or at most a floorplan!) of the well-edited and thoughtful space. Space Craft tells of Aharoni's space-saving tricks and work-arounds in his 550-square-foot apartment...
In addition to dropping some ceilings for added storage and keeping bookcases off the floor to open up the floor, Aharoni installed emerald trees in planter boxes outside the main room’s four windows. This is a wonderful trick in the city (if your building will allow it) to create a barrier of green.
We also really like the small one-armed loveseat in the first photo. This is likely a portion of a sectional, sold individually.
This space reminds us of Nate Berkus's space he shared on Oprah — very similar layout and also in the West Village. We've shown you about half the photos here, so be sure to check out the slideshow.

so simple, and beautiful, the white walls glow in the photographs.interesting, i only saw two lamps, a tolomeo in the bedroom and a noguchi in the livingroom.
Totally in lust with his floors and the Egyptian head.
I am lusting over the whole place: serene, calm, classy, collected, well edited and with these unobtrusive ethnic pieces. It's all in line with my ideal place should like... with some more white added :)
... all in line with what my ideal place should look like...
oh my god
I like the gigantic red bloomers on the wall.
bajeezus! i'm in full admiration mode.
Simply perfect.
I'm putting it in what passes for my Style Tray for the bookcase solution.
Breathtaking...
Anyone know where the Egyptian head is from? I don't think it's a Met repro...
I've had the Times Magazine open to this page on my kitchen table since it came this weekend. Can't bring myself to close it.
i love the book storage. very clever. very cozy.
Does anyone know where to find shades like those?
This place is breathtaking. What a talented man! I love that he manages to have so many books, and that they are a design element instead of visual clutter.
nash, they look like mesh shades that can be ordered in various degrees of transparency. they block the view in during daylight hours but permit the view out. you can order them here in new york at janovic plaza and conran shop on 59th.
