In this Manhattan apartment, Sergio Mannino Studio transformed a compact one‑bedroom into a modern, cozy residence through custom furniture and meticulous space planning—an elegant study in high‑end residential design for urban living. Discerning New Yorkers value interiors that elevate the rituals of daily life. This apartment renovation exemplifies luxury home interior design at an intimate scale: every inch was reconsidered, every gesture refined, and every element designed to serve comfort, clarity, and character.The brief centered on creating a warm, contemporary home for a young couple in Manhattan. Working within the footprint of a one‑bedroom, Sergio Mannino Studio rethought the plan and produced a cohesive, layered space that feels expansive without sacrificing intimacy. Purpose‑built pieces—crafted to fit exact dimensions—optimize storage, circulation, and display, ensuring that no corner goes unused and the apartment remains effortlessly organized.
Custom furniture anchors the design language. Scale, proportion, and detailing were calibrated to the room volumes so that each piece reads as both furnishing and architecture. This approach eliminates visual noise, integrates storage elegantly, and keeps the eye moving—critical moves in high‑end residential design where precision, calm, and craft signal quality.
In compact city homes, light is the ultimate luxury. The layout encourages clear sightlines, while integrated storage reduces clutter and amplifies natural light. Thoughtful material transitions guide movement, framing moments for conversation, reading, and rest. The outcome is a space that feels composed and generous—a home that works beautifully and resonates emotionally.
Our studio’s point of view is direct: form follows emotions. Homes should respond to how people want to feel—rested in the bedroom, energized in the living area, focused in a work nook—then meet those needs with quiet mastery. That ethos informs every decision here, from the cadence of built‑ins to the tactile choices that invite everyday use.
