AD joins Robert Garneau of Architecture Workshop PC in Manhattan, NYC, to tour a 1920s apartment brimming with sleek designs and space-saving innovations. “We wanted to maintain its rich character, but also offer the client a cozy, more contemporary space.” That client is television executive Tracy Underwood, a former president at ABC Signature who recently transitioned into an exclusive producing gig at 20th Television, a production company owned by Disney Television Studios. Based in Los Angeles, she purchased the apartment in 2021 as pied-à-terre for her frequent trips to New York City. At the time, she was living inside a Spanish bungalow-style home in LA’s Silver Lake community and said she wanted the interior aesthetics of the Manhattan apartment to be a departure from her life on the West Coast.
