In the heart of Tribeca, this modern apartment by NYC architect Enda Donagher blends urban minimalism with tactile warmth. With crisp lines, generous glazing, and a restrained palette, the design emphasizes light, flow, and material honesty. The goal: let the architecture feel both bold and intimately lived-in.

Carlisle’s brushed White Oak is the unifying element that softens the sharp edges of steel, glass, and concrete. Laid in 8″ wide planks in random lengths from 2′ to 12′, the finish and brushing accentuate natural grain while keeping the surface elegant and wearable. The floors carry warmth across every room—from the open living space to intimate private quarters—tying the whole home into a cohesive, calm canvas.

Every material, color, and texture was chosen to complement the floors rather than compete: soft neutrals, tactile fabrics, sculptural lighting, and wood-accented cabinetry. The brushed White Oak becomes a silent thread, guiding your experience through the apartment and grounding the modern gestures in an everyday, human scale.
