BACHMAN BROWN CLEM: It's a combination of two apartments in a classic 1920s building on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The owners had bought one apartment years earlier, and they were living in Hong Kong when the adjacent one came up for sale. Before they moved back here with their three children, we worked on a gut renovation with PSA Architecture and Design to combine the two. The original interior had tons of details—columns and scrolls—that looked like cake frosting. The architecture was simplified, and we designed rooms to meld heirloom antiques with pieces acquired during their time abroad.
