At first glance, it’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on in this minuscule Horatio Street studio. Same goes for the second and third glances, but here’s what’s discernable: This slice of a West Village dwelling has undergone one serious makeover since it last sold in 2011 for $350,000. Listing pictures for the apartment, which just hit the market asking $625,000, illuminate a renovation that harkens to Zaha Hadid with its a-symmetrical built-in table and shelving.

The renovation wasn’t just about design; it also brought the apartment a brand new kitchen with floor-to-ceiling cabinets, an artfully concealed refrigerator, and a stainless steel range. The apartment’s sole remaining prewar detail, a functioning wood-burning fireplace, has been flanked in a heat-treated tile. The sleek lines and mute coloring of the kitchen carries through to the bathroom, where a glass stall shower has taken the place of a tub.

The co-op at 86 Horatio Street, between Washington and Greenwich streets, collects $646 in monthly maintenance from the ground-floor co-op. The apartment is on the market with Matthew Pucker and Brian Meier at Corcoran.
