Travel to New York City for a tour of a home that offers stunning views of the George Washington Bridge through a large corner window, as well as a “Havana on the Hudson” vibe. This is the aesthetic that architect Adam Rolston and his partner had in mind upon renovating their 1930s Art Deco-style apartment in Washington Heights. While their home respects the integrity of the original architecture, they chose to capture the beautiful patina seen on Havana’s historic buildings through an integral colored plaster beginning in the foyer. They also enlivened the space with color that physically aligns with the outdoor setting, personal touches influenced by their travels (especially a trip to Cuba), furniture inspired by the glamour of the 1980s (as is reflected through a triangular coffee table that is a combination of oxidized brass and chrome, as well as a collection of Jay Spectre art and wing-back chair that pays homage to a Scandinavian designer from that era), and plenty of greenery. 🪴 From a wall of decorative clocks that tell the wrong time to a stainless steel kitchen that feels like a ship’s galley, to a print canvas photo of their direct view of the Palisades hanging in their bedroom (a nod to the tapestries at the Cloisters), this 1-bedroom co-op flawlessly fuses functionality with whimsical details.
