Sprawled on a white chaise in his Adams-Morgan loft, lawyer Julian Epstein makes his case for the simple life. “I’m not a collector. I don’t want a lot of stuff,” he says. “I can’t stand clutter.”

Overhead, the concrete ceiling is left exposed and the floor-to-ceiling windows are unshielded by curtains.
