| Progressive, new and fresh chic urban oasis ![]() This cool, urban lifestyle has quickly become the norm in apartment living. Today's apartments have granite, marble and other high-end finishes and cabinetry. You can find stylized coffee bars, gourmet kitchens and movie theatres to name just a few of the upscale amenities. For 5 East, Beasley & Henley had to pull out all the stops to differentiate this project from its high-style competition. Glass-enclosed rooms, stained concrete floors, bold artwork, sculptures, and sleek, draped walls were just the beginning of the creative enticements that the designers developed. In this and other projects the furnishings are also key. They are fresh and funky – looking more 'Architectural Digest' sophisticated than boring old rental apartment. "The rental apartment community has been growing to this point for the past few years," says Troy Beasley, Design Principal of Beasley & Henley Interior Design. "But it is ramping up more now and really starting to get interesting!" he says with a broad smile. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
