“The elevator opens directly into the apartment, so I wanted a foyer that clearly divided the living room, library and terraces from the rest of the house,” Pérez-de Cobos says. “At the same time, I wanted guests to be able to glimpse at what was in the living areas when they entered the foyer.”
In the living room, gunmetal taupe walls and area rugs in pale peach and navy blue hues set the stage for two conversation areas. On one side of the room, light taupe silk wing chairs and Neolassical-style armchairs cluster around an antique, Venetian tray table. Against the wall, an Italian marquetry armoire houses a bar.

On the opposite side of the room, wood-framed armchairs covered in a sage-and-cream linen floral pattern pair with a gray-and-cream silk plaid sofa. An iron-and-glass Mexican cocktail table, a bench and early 20th-century occasional tables add to the room’s collected feel.
Another piece from Mexico — an exquisite painted screen — inspired the dining room’s ochre, dark red and blue color scheme. A Mexican artisan also created the angled granite bases for the glass-topped table and console. Presiding over the room’s splendor is a Dutch-influenced, 19th-century Italian marquetry cabinet.
