Flatiron Apartment is a minimalist apartment located in New York, New York, designed by Cojot Designs. In designing her personal space, the architect aimed to create a unique and intimate environment. Drawing inspiration from her tenure at Soho House, she sought to blend the industrial aesthetics of a New York loft with a sense of warmth and coziness. The challenge was to harmonize the rugged industrial architecture with her personal style, ultimately resulting in inviting corners within a spacious great room. A standout feature of the loft is the original terracotta columns, which proudly display the building’s age. The loft’s layout was particularly complex due to all ten windows being situated on one wall. This led to a significant alteration: moving the front door to enable a continuous master suite.
The designer’s hospitality background, which emphasizes open spaces for socializing and hosting, heavily influenced the loft’s design. The expansive main room features a kitchen island treated as a central sculpture, constructed from eight slabs of Calacatta Malva in a stepped design. Art also plays a crucial role in the space, with many pieces sourced from her mother’s gallery in Paris. The furniture is a mix of newly acquired items and cherished vintage pieces, including a Lawson Fenning chaise with custom Jim Thompson fabric and an India Mahdavi side table. This blend of new and collected items adds a personal touch and allowed the designer to take creative risks often not possible with client projects.
