Jean Louis Deniot completed a palatial residence on New York's famed Fifth Avenue. Built in 1916, the Italian Renaissance palace-style building designed by J.E.R Carpenter for industrialist James A. Burden was the first apartment building to replace numerous private residences that were originally lined upper class streets before being converted into co-ops in 1955.

Jean-louis explains the project: "It's a stylish combination of art Deco and neoclassical interior details and eclectic, chic furniture. I wanted us to feel like we were in New York, and I wanted to make sure it reflected the grandeur of this famous prewar building.Throughout the apartment, Jean-Louis designed "an elegant French base with an American feel.

A proponent and master of neoclassicism, Jean-Louis has adopted a surprisingly modern style, with a palette of grays and neutrals in the living room that doesn't look strange at all. He explained that " A room, a certain decoration, a certain story. I like to create a whole vocabulary that develops in different ways throughout the space. The vocabulary of this house living room is a subtle contrast and a masterly understanding of space.
