Cover Story
Home Design Spring 2009
A peek into homes that sometimes
double as studios, each embracing the spirit of a new design movement that replaces orthodoxy with flexibility: Richard Christiansen’s apartment in the
Bowery Hotel; the stripped-down, improvisational Soho space of Nicola Vassell; the monotone, but not monotonous, midtown pad of Jason Wu; the playful Bushwick home office of the young founders of Design Glut, and more.
