Maison Leonard by Studio Zung is a refined residence located in the historic heart of Tribeca, New York. Designed as a sanctuary within the city, it blends warm minimalism with Wabi Sabi aesthetics, creating a timeless home that balances elegance and serenity. With four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, the project provides expansive 360-degree views of Manhattan while embracing a harmonious interior environment.
A Celebration of Warm Minimalism
The design of Maison Leonard focuses on simplicity and subtle refinement. Neutral tones, soft textures, and calming palettes define the atmosphere, while natural light enhances the sense of openness. Rather than overwhelming the space, carefully chosen details allow the architecture and views to take center stage. This approach reflects Studio Zung’s philosophy of creating homes that feel both grounded and elevated.
Bespoke Design Elements
Custom furniture plays a central role in the interior composition. A European oak banquette and a bespoke walnut bookshelf exemplify the studio’s commitment to craftsmanship and coherence. These tailored pieces integrate seamlessly into the living spaces, reinforcing continuity and offering both beauty and functionality. Low-profile furnishings ensure that the panoramic skyline remains uninterrupted, framing Manhattan as a living backdrop.
Harmony with Place
The project carefully respects the character of the global landmark building it inhabits. The interiors weave together soft sensuality and quiet sophistication, avoiding excess in favor of balance. This restraint allows the residence to feel like an extension of its surroundings while still maintaining a distinct sense of identity. By combining natural materials with thoughtful curation, the design achieves a peaceful dialogue between city and home.
In the end, Maison Leonard stands as an enduring expression of Studio Zung’s vision—a residence that embodies timeless elegance, urban tranquility, and a harmonious connection to its historic setting.
