This NYC apartment showcases the power of minimal interiors done right. “Minimalism, to me, isn’t about stripping a space down to the bare essentials, but about thoughtfully curating individual pieces to contribute to a cohesive whole,” says NYC interior designer Rushda Hakim. This apartment, in the new Olympia building designed by Hill West Architects, exemplifies that approach. With its high perch in the village of Dumbo, a former industrial district, it offers spectacular views of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge, and is home to a couple and their young daughter, who wanted to create a “peaceful sanctuary” away from their busy careers.
