After years of marriage, Dorothy and Stephen Globus grew apart aesthetically. So they built his and hers apartments, side by side: a stuffopolis for her, and something more minimalist for him. DHWendyGoodman reports

Dorothy’s attitude remains: “Marie Kondo says throw out anything you don’t love. Well, I love it all, Marie! What am I going to do?” Fortunately, at 4,000 square feet, there was room enough for their separate worlds, especially after the kids moved out. What does she think of Stephen’s side? “I love it. When was a kid, I lived in Japan for a couple of years. I love going in there. I just sit quietly.”
He researched artisans and discovered the Japanese carpentry company Miya Shoji, owned by Hisao Hanafusa. “I had to ask him like six or seven times to come and do it because he wanted to make sure there was a commitment. These rooms are very unique,” Stephen says of his side of the seventh floor. “And painstaking to build.” The first room to be built was the one by the windows with six tatami mats and shoji screens and a bamboo ceiling that hides the mechanics.
