FAUX PAINTING AND PLASTER FINISHES IN AN ICONIC NEW YORK BUILDING

Right off Fifth Avenue overlooking Central Park is where the Sherry-Netherland has been showing New York City its architectural splendor since 1927. SuperStrata collaborated with Martin Brûlé Studio in one of the building's residences to craft refined artisan finishes worthy of such an iconic place. 


Our artisans put their faux painting and plaster talents on display, starting with Sylvie Bilger's white faux stone and blue-grey striped painted floor that guides you from the lobby to the living and dining rooms. The elevator vestibule also features a faux painted effect that mimics the look of a tented ceiling, hand-painted by Sylvie.


Tim Murphy painted accents in the master bedroom and dressing room that used the surrounding fabric as inspiration for faux finishes that would add various elements of texture, metallic sheen, and strié to tie the rooms together. The master bathroom's wall finish was installed by Patrick, who applied a warm, cream-hued Tadelakt plasterideal for high-moisture environments. Back in the dining room, he also created a polished plaster finish for the walls and ceiling with the appearance of shiny parchment. The adjacent salon and living rooms have a more subtle Marmoino finish throughout, while limewash covers the walls and ceilings of the gallery and entry rooms as well as the kitchen.
