Pierre Yovanovitch renovated Anna Zaoui's three-bedroom Apartment in Manhattan for the founder of the luxury furniture retailer. When he first visited Zaoui's apartment, Pierre Yovanovitch immediately noticed the stunning view of Central Park. Mr. Zaoui, whose apartment is on the 30th floor of a renovated multistory residential building on the Upper West Side, also observed these views of unfair layout and the reconfiguration of the space required by his design.

His design called for a complete reconfiguration of the space, including opening new doors to form an enfilade that draws the eye to certain windows, joining the study and dining room to create a large multipurpose space, and darkening the foyer to enhance the impact of walking into the sun-drenched living room and its sweeping panoramas.
