To design the interiors of this six-story town house in Chelsea, Amy Kolker of @janestreetprojects looked to very specific people and places for inspiration. One was the Maison de Verre in Paris, a steel-and-glass residence that was unthinkably modern at the time of its construction in 1932, and another was Adolf Loos, an Austro Hungarian architect who rejected adornment but embraced luxurious materials, sometimes covering entire rooms in marble or mahogany. As a longtime set designer and visual display expert for couture labels and luxury retailers, Kolker developed an extensive design vocabulary. When a friend approached her about transforming the interiors of white-walled residence spanning nearly 8,000 square feet, Kolker dug deep into her decorative repertoire. “This was my big debut as an interior designer,” she says. “And it was quite a bit of space to work with.” Tour the Moody and Maximalist NYC home at the link in our bio.
