Breuer designed this apartment for a stock broker and his wife, who was a singer. The main living spaces, the dining and music rooms, could be closed off from one another by folding doors or left as a single continuous space. A band of hanging cabinets stretched the length of the apartment, connecting the two rooms visually, and the cabinets at the end of the music room were lowered to form a fold-out desk. Breuer left the herringbone-patterned wooden floors exposed and varied the color palette of the two rooms. The furniture consisted largely of Breuer's tubular-steel designs. The Boroschek apartment was similar in layout to the De Francesco apartment of the previous year.
