Museum Mile Apartment

Located within one of the few 1920s buildings that includes double-height living rooms, this apartment renovation celebrates the grand scale of existing details. PPA’s design enhances these details and makes the various proportions and orientations of the rooms relate through a program of moldings and paneling. Katie Ridder’s decoration enlivens the traditional spaces.
