Giancarlo Valle imbues this Manhattan townhouse with rich history and writes its own rules. The downtown house looks a bit featureless, just the narrowness of the space, the white walls and the soulless details that create an aesthetic vacuum from every Angle.

So, in the absence of any natural starting point, Giancarlo Valle created his own. With a project like this, it was like a blank canvas, so he started planning the whole thing. The highlight of the project is a canvas table and a set of mahogany chairs designed for the indoor restaurant.

Giancarlo Valle likes constraints. A steep cliff, a huge rock, some mature trees, every challenge is an opportunity, every obstacle an aha moment. For designers, the starting point of design, whether from tone or style, can be associated as long as it revolves around an element, and sometimes a piece of furniture can become the driving force.

In some cases, there are more interesting houses than ideal houses. Interesting Spaces inspire exploration, and ideals inspire imagination, both of which are excellent drivers. Giancarlo Valle stitched together every fragmentary space, using the spirit of the artisan to create a delicate space.
