These two avid present-day artwork fans have a broad-ranging selection encompassing pieces by a diverse roster of artists who specialize in several media. Now, the interiors are dotted with performs by the likes of British fiber artist Sally England and Denmark-dependent sculptor Nicholas Shurey.

In the main suite, a customized bed, from Hardesty Dwyer & Co., anchors a room that also options Coup D’Etat oak and bouclé chairs and Thomas Hayes nightstands.

The compact space offers Gucci wallpaper illuminated by a neon light photograph. Just far more evidence that when it came to this project, Peña still left no stone—or square foot—unturned.
