Interior designer Magdalena Keck created a design for a Greenwich Village pied à terre that is somehow both lush and airy at once.
Because the home isn't occupied continuously, it doesn't need to contain all the clutter of daily life, leaving the designer free to select only the most necessary pieces in beautiful styles. There's a perfect balance of sleek ultra modern and warm vintage furnishings in wood and brass finishes. Walls are kept pristine white. Artwork is large in scale and minimal, and functional objects like books and dishes are incorporated as decorative accents.
If only all of our homes could be so perfectly composed and clutter-free!

Poetically gorgeous.
I think I could make a perfectly composed and clutter free home if no had to live in it. It's the "living in" and "doing in" that messes up everything.
agree. beautiful, but...only buying white books and dishes might get a bit limiting in one's everyday life.
that said, I need that desk to be mine.
And I could maybe make mistake free posts if family members could stop interrupting me,
no=no one
I really do struggle with the conflict of my desire for this kind of aesthetic perfection and the reality of messy, active and productive daily family/pet filled life.
Love the furniture, their layout and the editing. Love everything but the flooring, a darker wood would make the whites pop and not make everything seem so whitewashed. But that's a very, VERY minor Nitpick.
I love minimalism, but that last photo of the white covered books on the bed is just plain silly.
This place is perfection, and then the pipes are randomly exposed in the living room. That would drive me crazy!!!!! But it is gorgeous, for sure.
@Wormy: I didn't even notice those pipes, but now that I do, what would you think if each one of those pipes were colored a bright hue? I can see each pipe being a Bright Red, Green, Yellow would give it a bit of an artistic pop.
