The best way to deal with the commute is not to have one, which is exactly what the owner of this condominium apartment accomplished by moving from the Washington, DC suburbs to a new location downtown.

The owner’s extensive art collection was carefully curated for the two-bedroom apartment, to which the monochromatic furnishings serve as a backdrop. All of the conveniences and none of the downsides of relocating, including the ability to have seated dinners for eight, are provided. Guests? There are thousands of guest rooms within walking distance, as is the owner’s business.
