NOHO APARTMENT

A maquette for a West Village townhouse renovation shows an exquisite bathroom wrapped in end-grain oakwood. A rustic structure captures the country-home concept he is hatching with the Green River Project. And a cylindrical model hints at the daring powder room he’s creating for a ground-up Craftsman-style cottage in Carmel, California, his most significant commission to date.

“A house is a city, and a city is a house,” muses Valle, paraphrasing the Dutch Structuralist architect Aldo van Eyck. “I like the idea that there’s a scaleless-ness to the way we approach design.” In the spirit of legends like Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe, Valle layers his spaces with sculptural, often sinuous furniture of his own design, realized versions of which fill his atelier.
