Public Spaces

This condo, which feels like a sweet European flat, is historically rich with details.Enter through the gate to the shared community courtyard, secure from the street, stop to sit at the little table outside the front doors for a cup of coffee….just steps inside leads you to your door on the first floor, no elevator needed. 

The interior hall provides an abundance of built-ins and storage, with a coat closet, washer/dryer closet and a third closet with built ins for clothing. As you end at a turn to the kitchen and living room, nestled there is one’s own private desk for home office working, writing and art projects. 

Private Spaces

The tranquil bedroom is centered in the space with original archways, a tray ceiling and built in niche. Dual sets of glass paned french doors connect it to the public areas on two sides with doors to the hall for passage and second set opening to the expanse of the flat. The respectfully oversized bathroom has a new vintage style pedestal sink, plumbing fixtures and a bank of windows looking out to the courtyard. 

a poem:

Sit next to the window

pace of calm a room that holds 

and arrives as a hand addressed envelope

gather in the held ballet

of window fingers drawn on fog

a white crane summon peace

a bird in silver film

you and a memory enter

and the room holds ballerina mood

momentum gown streams and lamps

the walls of this home inhabit

wafts of laughter like incense

it is relax with contemplative branch

flowers of many cities, in a bouquet of home

place a perfect moment could

say light that reminds the root heart

of life’s pleasant ease, chalk in hand

rising and stretching heart or crane

we are the host of windows of our life

let us contain memory as a ballet 

of spread limbs in five rooms
