Riverside Drive Triplex
An interior precedent for sequential rooms using contrasting neutral and saturated color palettes to draw the eye toward a lit exterior view.
- What we like about this project
- The deep red woodwork and wainscoting continue uniformly onto the window and door frames, fully saturating the rear volume.
