Jarrad partnered closely with general contractor Jake Ross to incorporate materials that would deepen the loft’s textured depths. The client had first imagined a serene, all-white palette, “But I wanted to step down in tone, still keeping everything soft and neutral but with a lot of beige, taupe and honey,” the designer says. These hues blend into the apartment’s timeworn materials while also “lending a Zen, spa-like experience, because they feel more natural.”
The existing floors were refinished, restoring their cognac warmth. To complement the rich hue, Jarrad chose rift-cut white oak built-in closets with doors in a parchment-like finish for the new foyer. “We wanted it to be a very impactful moment when you walk into the space while ultimately hiding all of the things that the home requires,” she notes. Ross’ team then reframed the space into a cocoon-like entrance by adding one wall and rounding the edge of another, “so you experience this soft curve as you’re entering,” the designer describes.
Loyal T Cabinetry crafted the kitchen’s white oak display shelving. Oak stools by Sekt pull up to the peninsula, which is topped with Bianca Perla quartzite from Terrazzo & Marble Supply Companies. The black Bosch range adds contrast.
Hand-applied limewash by The Decorative Finish cloaks the entry’s curved walls. JH Custom Furniture-made stools covered in a Colefax and Fowler check provide a moment of pause. Milk-glass Allied Maker sconces and an Arteriors pendant illuminate the space.
