CAREFUL LAYERING OF PIECES

“Our goal was to craft a home that blends the elegance of the Upper West Side with warmth and modern sophistication,”says Guillaume Coutheillas, Founder and Creative Director of frenchCALIFORNIA. “By layering carefully selected vintage and contemporary pieces, we created an environment that feels both timeless and deeply personal.”

LIGHT-FILLED INTERIORS

The residence’s design pays homage to the Upper West Side’s artistic and architectural history while embracing light-filled interiors and open-plan living. A key feature is West Side White, a soft white paint custom-developed by frenchCALIFORNIA to enhance the apartment’s natural light and architectural details. This shade, which adorns the living and dining areas, is available for purchase. 

CURATED WORKS

Throughout the home, vintage furniture and sculptural accessories are juxtaposed with contemporary works from NAVA CONTEMPORARY, including pieces by David Burdeny, Tracie Cheng, Liv Dockerty, Jimmie James, Andres Galeano, and Zoe Pawlak. The selection was curated to create an inspiring and engaging environment, seamlessly blending art and design.

AESTHETIC REFINEMENT & EVERYDAY FUNCTIONALITY

The apartment’s interior also features bespoke Italian lacquer millwork, Taj Mahal quartzite slab countertops, and a suite of integrated Miele appliances, ensuring both aesthetic refinement and everyday functionality. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame storied Upper West Side vistas, from tree-lined streetscapes to the Manhattan skyline and Central Park.

The frenchCALIFORNIA-designed residence brings to life a vision of refined, effortless luxury in one of New York’s most coveted neighborhoods, setting a new benchmark for modern Upper West Side living.
