"But when he came across a 345-square-foot studio on the Upper West Side three years ago, the apartment posed the perfect opportunity for him to live on his own, be closer to work at Lincoln Center, and have a bit more room to himself. Thanks to an unruly accumulation of random furniture, however, the apartment initially felt equally cramped. "I knew I needed help," says Chan."
"Enter AD100 designer Josh Greene. The designer appreciated the challenge of working in small quarters. "Everything has to be deliberate," he says. The first order of business was understanding how Chan wanted his home to function. It had to be a place where the principal dancer could rest and recover between rehearsals and performances. It also needed to remain tidy and maximize every square foot, because Chan stretches or teaches students via Zoom during his off time."
"The resulting design focused on separating spaces by color ("This makes it feel bigger," explains Greene)-each section making use of a warm array of earth tones to aid in relaxation. Moss green cabinets and a marble backsplash anchor the kitchen, illuminated by a window at the end of the corridor. The main room carries on with accents of green through a geometric rug and velvet sofa, plus soft tones of red and sand."
Chun Wai Chan moved into a 345-square-foot Upper West Side studio to live alone and be closer to Lincoln Center. The apartment felt cramped because of an accumulation of random furniture. AD100 designer Josh Greene reorganized the space with deliberate choices focused on rest, recovery, and Zoom teaching. The design separates areas by color and uses warm earth tones to promote relaxation. Moss green cabinets and a marble backsplash anchor the kitchen, lit by a corridor window. The main room includes a geometric rug, velvet sofa, and soft red and sand accents. The bed area shows muted yellow tones with a small gallery wall, creating a cozy vignette.
