We transformed a dark, warren-like 1-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village into a dynamic, bright 2-bedroom, 2-bath triplex through a series of rigorous design studies followed by successfully guiding the project through a complex co-op board and city approvals process. This unlocked a huge amount of latent value, and has created an inspiring backdrop for our client’s lives.

The space is organized by the staircase that wraps the main floor’s “floating bathroom” to connect the three levels.  This main floor is the public floor with entry hall, kitchen, living and dining rooms.  The husband is a passionate cook, so we outfitted the kitchen with a walk-in pantry, induction cooktop, direct vent hood, and opened it to the double height dining and living room that serves as the social center of the home.  A glass-railed mezzanine with office and reading area looks over these public spaces which open directly onto the new exterior balcony we added via French doors.  Downstairs are two bedrooms that each open to a private outdoor terrace along a generous bathroom and laundry and storage closets.
