Encase Apartment: New York, NY

Architect Robert Garneau, a founding partner of Architecture Workshop, PC, was tasked with renovating a modest prewar apartment in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood by former ABC Signature president and current producer at 20th Century Television, Tracy Underwood.

For such a small space, efficient and durable storage options are essential, especially biophilic ones — natural elements that give an open feel.

For much of the cabinetry in the Chelsea apartment, Garneau used Columbia Forest Products plywood for durability and longevity with pops of warm, walnut veneer throughout.

"Columbia Forest Products is the spec for all of our custom cabinetry in our projects, and it has been for the last decade," said Garneau.
