Name: Irving Diaz-Burg & Timothy A. Day (and Matias, their Wheaten Terrier)
Location: Union Sqaure; New York, New York
Size: 850 square feet
Years lived in: 3 years; rented

While they now live upstate, Irving and Timothy were kind enough to share  images of their previous home in Downtown New York, overlooking Union Square. In this soothing space high above the hustle and bustle of one of the busier parts of the city, the couple and their pup Matias enjoyed an enviably bright and well decorated home.

Type of Project: Light renovation of a rental apt
Location: Soho, NYC
Type of building: Two bedroom apartment
