"New Order in the Capital\nA Turn-of-the-Last-Century Apartment is Transformed\nArchitect Robert M. Gurney and his wife, interior designer Th\u00E9r\u00E8se Baron Gurney, transformed a psychiatrist's Washington, D.C., apartment into a calm, minimalist space. The living/dining room, as through\u00ADout, \"has a Zen-like, soothing atmosphere,\" remarks Robert Gurney. B&amp;amp;B Italia sofa and nesting tables.\n\"All of my work is modern, ordered, organized, and the details are very, very crisp,\" says Gurney. \"I almost never use baseboards and moldings.\" Translucent glass panels, which divide the dining area from the kitchen, \"soften the intensity of natural light.\" Cassina chairs.\nMaterials in the kitchen\u2014limestone for the floors, wenge for the cabinetry and stainless steel for the fixtures\u2014are used throughout the public rooms. Oven, cooktop and hood at Abt.com.\n\nSee more Kitchens \u00BB\nGurney stripped the space, in a Beaux Arts building, \"down to columns and plumbing stacks,\" then rebuilt it with an open floor plan.\n\"As minimal as the rooms might be, we make an effort to make spaces feel different,\" says the architect, who distinguished the private rooms, including the study, with dark floors and white millwork. Cassina chair and side table.\n\"The building has an elaborate Beaux Arts fa\u00E7ade and entry,\" notes Gurney. \"It's a pleasant surprise to come in here.\"\nThe open shower in the bath drains through teak decking. The room's two windows \"give an incredible sense of light, especially in the evening.\" A translucent glass pane was also used for the bedroom's sliding door."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
