Its exterior stays true to the origins of the building and displays an intriguing brick finish. Once inside, the overall perspective is bent, as a potential visitor is likely to be surprised by the modern interior. A generously sized living and dining space acts as the focal point of the entire house. The attention to detail is obvious in every corner of the project, from the lighting elements in the living area to the specially commissioned bathroom with imported marble from Italy.

State-of-the art technology is also a defying factor for this home, equipped with infrared high security cameras and intercom system with electric gates.

The kitchen is minimalist, equipped with built-in appliances and storage. A wooden table with transparent chairs for six is an open invite to guests.

This duplex has been decorated almost entirely in black and white. The walls and the ceilings are white and the floors are light grey. The same colors have been used throughout the apartment and the result is a uniform look. The furniture is either completely white or completely black. Itâ€s interesting that there are no combinations. Thatâ€s probably because the designer wanted to create strong contrasts.

In the kitchen for example, the furniture is white. This creates a bright and spacious décor and itâ€s the best solution in this case. White might not be a favorite color in the kitchen because it gets easily dirty and it requires a lot of attention but when you want to create an elegant and uniform look I think thatâ€s a sacrifice worth to be made.

Anyway, the duplex is not entirely decorated in black and white. There some small spots of colors but they can be seen in decorations such as artwork, pillows and flowers.

A few years ago, Sue hired Valerie to furnish her industrial loft in New Yorkâ€s SoHo. The result? A gorgeous mix of mid-century modern and traditional pieces pulled together by an abundance of light.
