PARIS LUXURY APARTMENT

The challenge studio faced whilst transforming this exclusive Parisian residence was the merging of two apartments into one – via a small, inconspicuous portal – to create a seamless living experience. The clients, a family with three small children, delivered a very clear brief on both the functional and aesthetic requirements: a timeless and sophisticated design to suit both formal and informal living. To create a veritable bolt-hole away from the hectic pace of city life, they opted for a subdued color palette.

They grouped the large collection of artworks and accessories by color, carefully placing them in the various spaces, and gave each room its own accent color, such as red, purple or yellow. With no concession on the quality of materials used, this residence truly represents what makes Piet Boon so unique: the ability to create understated luxury and deliver a harmonious living experience. What is more, the owners’ love for beautiful materials and art objects is evident throughout what really has become a home.

LUXURY CONDOMINIUMS ‘OOSTEN’ IN WILLIAMSBURG

Commissioned by XIN Development Group International, Piet Boon is responsible for the interior design and amenities of the substantial residential development project “Oosten” in trendy upcoming neighborhood South Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Oosten is located at 421 Kent and is situated along South Williamsburg’s waterfront district. Located east of Manhattan and near the East River, we chose to give it the Dutch name “Oosten”, which means “east” and also refers to New York’s Dutch roots.

Offering 216 high-end homes varying from luxurious studios to extraordinary townhouses, Oosten is unique in its varied typology of building units. These units combine to form not only a greater building but the fabric of a neighborhood. The design strives to reach across these boarders of spaces to provide a consistent design aesthetic that carries through space and time. An important part in all Piet Boon designs is to create and make optimal use of space.

To achieve this designers connected the outside exterior with the inside interior. Without loss of privacy, all homes face a 13,860 square feet landscaped open courtyard providing Oosten’s homeowners with a unique experience of having a “hidden garden”.

In order to increase the amount of natural light and ensure panoramic views designers opted for floor-to-ceiling windows. Oosten will boast timeless interiors rooted in the industrial heritage of the waterfront area as well as the building and Piet Boon signature elements of high quality materials and strong axis lines.
