Inside An Artful Apartment In Zaha Hadid\u2019s High Line Building<\/h1>\n\n\n

When your apartment sits within a landmark, like Zaha Hadid\u2019s swooping building on the New York City High Line, sometimes the best idea is to not get in the way. At least that\u2019s what clients told Canella Design<\/a>\u2019s Carlos Canella when the time came to move into a 4,000-square-foot residence in the iconic high-rise. They wanted their 4 bedroom\/4 \u00bd bathroom apartment to carry on the themes of Hadid\u2019s common areas\u2014which made Canella the perfect fit, since he\u2019d worked on them with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d worked on its interiors during my tenure as part of the building developer\u2019s design team before opening up my own design firm,\u201d Canella says. \u201cI worked on the building\u2019s interior design\u2014furniture, lighting, and rug selections, and layouts, as well as worked with the Zaha design team on finish selections.\u201d And so many of the materials were already to the clients\u2019 liking: the kitchen\u2019s veiny Calacatta Corchia Marble; the bathrooms\u2019 Statuario floor and walls and Nero Marquina feature shower wall. As was the apartment layout, with an open plan living spaces so inviting they decided to extend it to the kitchen and family room as well, a collaboration with Tuna Architecture<\/a>, which installed a peninsula with seating across from the stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other interventions were mostly limited to a few overhead lighting elements to compliment Hadid\u2019s curved soffits, and a feature marble wall in the kitchen to keep the gas and HVAC equipment from view. Hadid\u2019s original \u201cobject walls\u201d remain the foyer, and her unmistakable windows frame views in the primary bedroom\u2019s walk-in closet and sitting area. Furniture echoes Hadid\u2019s sinuous curves. \u201cOne of the challenges working on the base building was to find contemporary furniture pieces and bring them together to make the interiors feel warm, comfortable, and homey,\u201d Canella says. \u201cThe apartment had very similar challenges. So the same approach was used here.\u201d Who says modern has to be fussy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
