Magdalena Keck, a Remodelista Architect and Designer Directory member, created a calm oasis from hectic city life in this Greenwich Village pied a terre. Keck painted the walls Farrow & Ball All White and installed 12-inch-wide random-length pine floors in every room, including the bathroom. The space is divided with two large French doors, which allow light to travel freely throughout the space. To see more projects, go to Magdalena Keck.

Above: Storage in the narrow kitchen is maximized by long floating shelves, which hold a collection of white ceramics. The vintage table seats six when the leaves are extended.
