Modern Manhattan Skyline

This sleek and contemporary family home was designed by Derk Garlick — the natural light is abundant and the apartment offers views of lower Manhattan across the Hudson River: Tasked to create a family friendly atmosphere with modern highlights for a family of four in Hoboken, New Jersey. The apartment features a "V" shaped circulation plan that funnels natural light into the heart of the space. Glass transoms and oversized sliding glass doors provide additional assistance in transferring light from room to room. At the heart of the space is the open kitchen with a vibrant red countertop to energize the space and to play off the stark white lacquer cabinets. Strategically located around the apartment are built-in audiovisual cabinets, cabinets for game centers, concealed hingeless doors, and custom storage spaces for daily items such as a vacuum, cleaning supplies and toys.
