I'm not into very "girly" decor, but this color palette is a little too somber for me. Still beautiful, though!

Masculine, yes. Architectural, yes-ish. Restrained? Notsomuch.

This flat was purchased by Billy Joel last week. There was an article on www.curbed.com

Very masculine apartment with nice pieces. What it needs is a bit more color and light. It could still maintain the masculine edge but right now its not a place I would want to live. I would want to steal some of the furniture but not live there.

For instance, I want that lamp. Where is it from? I cant afford a Jielde right now. But I love these industrial and mechanistic looking lamps.

Thats a Tom Dixon Beat lamp. It's been VERY popular. I see it everywhere now.

Thanks 8ry. But I actually meant the floor lamp.

I like it except for the kitchen - too dark. I love white and black so I could live there, but I would do mostly white furniture/decor. The floors are amazing.

just gorgeous. i love everything about it, esp. the floors & woodwork

also the lights in this place are killer. those in the beautiful entryway are similar to the titan pendant made by peter bowles (based on a 1940 mold) who makes amazing, amazing lighting.

i love this. would live here in a heartbeat.

i want to have sex with this apartment.

Ooh I love this. I think I need some black paint for my mouldings.

This is a gorgeous apartment. I would love to live in an apartment with this layout, those floors, french doors and all those window. The black accent is beautiful and makes this place a great canvas for a variety of styles.

The furniture as shown is too hard and cold for me, perhaps this is staged?

Unfortunately, the kitchen just does not go with the rest of the apartment.

I think my furniture and art seriously would be perfect for this place, not just saying that in a bragging way but honestly it would be a perfect marriage.

Oh
So
Sexy.

I'm having kitchen envy right now...

This is a perfect room. I love organic.

I'd loooooooooooove to furnish it.

No Patrick its mine to furnish!

Ok I just looked through their site and saw all the pictures and where is my trust fund ready to move!

Starting at 3.4 mil

Oh my...its' grand.

Imagine the fun of furnishing it. This is the place where design dreams could come true.

Its very "500 Days of Summer"....

i LOVE their work. we put it as our inspiration for our cure flickr page. i love the ace hotel. we live around the corner and when our place depresses us we just go there. i hope we can pull our place together by the end of the cure to even come with in 10% of their skill level. dreams...

Trumystique- I've seen those kind of lamps a lot lately from places like Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware and CB2, etc. but if you're like me and don't fancy "new vintage-looking" you can also find interesting vintage and antique industrial lamps on ebay.

Roman and Williams have insane taste - incredibly talented!

ohh those floors, that kitchen. ay ay ay. i'm sure the piano man will enjoy this place.

Great looking home.

Where can I find chairs similar to the ones in the picture?

Dark herringbone floors are just sexy! I think I just had a floorgasm...ahhhhh

hunted- watched part of the video thanks for posting, they do have that style that is hard to describe but I think that why it works it does not scream out a particular decade and very androgynous.

When I see a space like this it reminds me of the book we had to read in design school- The Timeless Way of Building by Christopher Alexander a book I still have.
