Workshop/APD


Workshop/APD founding principal Andrew Kotchen is not known for shying away from a challenge, and when it came time to create a family retreat in Palm Beach, he actually welcomed one. Charmed by his new apartment’s location, potential, and sweeping ocean views, Kotchen and the Workshop/APD team set out to transform the space through a complete gut renovation. Led by Senior Project Manager Adam Dello Buono, the result is a warm, modern getaway that embodies the firm’s Crafted Modern ethos, showcasing extraordinary custom millwork, Workshop/APD designed custom and Workshop Collection furnishings, and perennial design and décor favorites, as well as a highly personal collection of art and objects.
In the dining space, an organically-shaped pop up communicates directly with the custom dining table below – another Workshop Collection bespoke product first devised for this project. A cluster of pendant lights in varying shapes comprise a freeform chandelier, playing into the cutout to add verticality to the room. Curved walls around the hallway openings continue the softness found throughout the home.
