In a quiet neighborhood of New York's enowned makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic as an urban sanctuary that combines reUpper East Side, designer Nicholas Obeid reinterpreted the new home of rfinement and individuality. From the entrance, the interior is filled with exquisite material splicing and artistic furnishings, expressing the designer's unique insights into sensory layers and spatial rhythm.

At the entrance, a specially custom-made ceramic mirror is fixed to the wall like a natural rock, complemented by a variety of interwoven finishes such as handcrafted pottery, metal and soft textiles, setting an aesthetic tone of "softness with strength" for the entire space. Light and shadow shuttle and flow on surfaces of different textures, creating a visual ritual that makes people stop and linger.

The living room is the core of the residence. The designer used about twenty shades of green as the base, ranging from sea bubble green, golden green to moss with a yellowish-brown background, presenting a rich yet soft color symphony like an eyeshadow palette. An abstract painting is created as the visual center, forming a harmonious tension with a pair of vintage armchairs.

Nicholas Obeid has a good grasp of scale and geometric composition. The slender metal lamp base is placed on a tall wooden cabinet, opposite which is a combination of low wooden blocks and heavy sculptures. They form a layer of varying heights with a large floor lamp and generate a dialogue. These asymmetrical display methods create a dynamic visual rhythm and are full of fun. The fireplace, as a "historical heritage" in the space, is not hidden but reactivated through a contemporary sculpture by Jan Maarten Voskuil.

The dining room continues the "juxtapotion game" of materials: the walnut dining table, the steel sideboard and the lamps wrapped in sheepskin together form a delicate trio. The light is projected onto their surfaces, presenting a calm and bright tone, making dining no longer a simple act but a sensory immersive experience. The kitchen is set up as an almost invisible existence. The designer deliberately downplay the functional traces and keep it in harmony with the aesthetic language of the public area. The overall design features a low-saturation gray-green panel, combined with metal handles and stone countertops, presenting a visual "quiet power".

The custom-made soft-padded headboard in the bedroom surrounds the entire wall, as if it were an unfolded canvas, infinitely magnifying the warm texture of the fabric and emphasizing the layering of the texture. The colors of the carpet, bedding and curtains echo each other, creating a quiet space that makes one's mind calm as soon as they step in.

From the inside out, the entire residence is arranged in a just-right rhythm with various materials and the organic collision between shapes. The interweaving of metal and wood, the resonance of retro and contemporary, the juxtabalization of hardness and softness, under the guidance of Obeid's almost instinctive aesthetic, creates an "undefinable" refined atmosphere, which is both elegant and cool, both reserved and progressive layer by layer.
