Our renovation of this five-story Upper West Side townhouse focused on preserving, restoring and recreating the rich, historical features of the house while producing more free-flowing spaces to accommodate the family’s contemporary lifestyle. As we changed the original plan and opened up each of the five floors, roof-top penthouse and cellar, we also meticulously incorporated the original range of decorative details and materials throughout.
To allow natural light to fill the house, we redesigned the central staircase and installed a new skylight the full length of the stairwell. We also enlarged the rear façade windows and added a penthouse garden room opening to a new roof deck.
