I transformed this former office and storage space into an intimate private dining venue and versatile one-bedroom apartment. The design aims to evoke a sophisticated, nighttime atmosphere with a blend of jewel tones and gold accents. Deep navy blue, greys, reds, and oranges provide striking contrast, while natural wood elements introduce warmth and texture. Salvaged wood planks leftover from the job site were used throughout the project, repurposed to craft the kitchen island siding, floating shelves, and portable bar. The coffee table, fabricated by Nick Bonamy, is made with a salvaged walk-in refrigerator door from the downstairs’ liquor store, resting on custom poured concrete blocks.

A fireplace was incorporated to create a welcoming ambiance for gatherings and private events. The clawfoot tub in the bathroom completes the space with a sense of understated luxury. Vintage lounge and dining chairs offer comfort, with custom lighting complementing the overall design.
