H&H: WHERE DO YOU STASH

YOUR STUFF?

RT: We h ad C a l i for n i a Closet s

installed throughout and we also

make use of our storage locker in

the building’s basement.

H&H: WHAT’S YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR

THOSE WHO WANT TO DOWNSIZE?

RT: Think twice before you acquire

anything new! It also helps to be

a neatnik.

H&H: WHAT’S THE MOST SURPRISING

BENEFIT OF SMALL-SPACE LIVING?

RT: Small spaces don’t have to be

hard-lined modern boxes. Our

condo is tiny but layered and

luxurious. It’s a pleasure to come

home to!

RIGHT: Because the

couple uses the condo

as a pied-à-terre a galley

kitchen was more than

adequate. “My cooking

consists of ‘warming up’”

says Robert. “We tend to

have friends over for

cocktails and then

go out for dinner.” An

elegant chandelier fills

the narrow hallway

outside the bedroom.

BELOW: The separate

entry hall sets the tone

for the condo’s formal

interior. A bowfront

Georgian chest offers

extra storage for closet

overflow and a Persian

carpet is a welcoming

note. Green and black
