The Living Room, After: The color palette started with the rug. “I fell in love with one specific carpet — from Instagram, if I’m honest, from CC-Tapis — and talked Archie into falling in love with it,” Hackett says. The yellow chair is vintage.

Which led them to the Onyx. It was designed by the firm Harde & Short and was originally a residence for actors and singers when that part of the East Village was a thriving theater community in the early 1900s. It became a co-op in 1983 of a particular bohemian stripe.

For one thing, the late owner’s tenant was cohabitating with a rabbit. “They put a linen over the cage, as if we wouldn’t notice,” remembers Hackett. The place smelled musty; it was unclear if the rabbit was to blame. “Every time we went to see it, the Realtor would light a candle,” Hackett says. The Long Hallway, Before: It was crooked and dark. The Long Hallway, After: They straightened out the bent hallway, allowing for light and a clear view to the new kitchen at the front of the apartment. The floor is reclaimed oak and echoes the details of the original with a walnut border to the diagonal floorboards. The original plasterwork of rounded walls was something Schori and GRT founding partner Rustam-Marc Mehta carried forward in the renovation.
