The design duo, partners in Gachot Studios, are not exactly new to the neighborhood, as they spent the past three years around the corner in Paul Rudolph’s iconic modernist penthouse on Beekman Place, and before that, they lived in a loft in Noho for 18 years. But this is the first time they have lived in a prewar classic seven with room for a study for John and a place for Boris to practice his keyboard, not to mention a wood-burning fireplace. “So many of our young friends and designers are moving up here,” Christine says. “The scale of the rooms, the spaces, the proper way that these homes are designed, young designers are very appreciative of that.” [TAKE A TOUR]( Wendy Goodman Design Editor, New York Magazine and Curbed   ADVERTISER CONTENT  [Learn more about Jeeng](   This Week in Design CHAPTERS [The Santa Fe Home That Was Alexander Girard’s Final Triumph]( Todd Oldham and Kiera Coffee’s new book surveys everything the designer ever touched.
