Two Unique Finish Packages
Merc
Beaux Arts: Parisian
In the library building, we brought out the Beaux-Arts character and European-inspired elements of the historic building. The common areas feel grand through the use of materials and architectural forms. The residential units are traditional, but current, like the perfect Parisian apartment.
Mica
Mid Century: MadMen
The Formica is a Mid-Century masterpiece, with a minimalist point of view but enough detail that one could imagine Don Draper stepping off the elevator into a swank, but not trend-driven lobby. The units have clean lines and a neutral palette, while the common spaces have a warmer cozy feel.
