This one-bedroom apartment in New York, by Ashe + Leandro (founded by Reinaldo Leandro, a Skidmore Owings & Merrill alum who's worked in Bahrain, and Ariel Ashe, an interior designer who has done spaces for entertainment clients like Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers), has a distinct LA vibe, cheerful in the dead of winter.
