master plan: {always begin with one!}



To begin, a great master plan illustrates “flow,” the seductive movement of circulation within and through space. As David Estreich of David Estreich, Architects suggests, “The plan dictates a well-fitting relationship between rooms, incorporating a seamless integration of architecture and decoration.” Like the bespoke suit, walking through a luxe home feels right. It is an elegant movement that glides one though each room, while taking in the grace and largesse of a space. It’s not the size or style that matters; it’s the overall composition, and how the rooms interplay.

As Gail mentioned above, the flow and circulation of a room can dictate the atmosphere’s mood and ambience. Even in a loft, which usually one open room, a master plan should be designed to promote organization, function and combine a pleasing aesthetic in the space. This painter’s studio in Greenwich Village was renovated into an open airy loft with a Parisian flair. The organization of the space is centered around a 65-foot wood library that serves as a place to house a daybed and create privacy in such a vast place. Very clever!
