A total of five different pre-war apartments were seamlessly combined in this renovation to create a sequence of public rooms on the upper floor and bedrooms on the lower floor. A backdrop of Mission Style detailing in oak highlights the owner’s extensive collection of period furniture.
The pre-war buildings designed as “artists’ studios” were rarely actually inhabited by artists, but their double height living rooms have made them favorites. This classic apartment, in a 1928 Rogers & Poor building, had tall windows and “good bones” but had never been renovated. The kitchen and entry were re-planned to provide a comfortable kitchen eating area, the bedroom was re-arranged to create a walk-in closet, and the large bathroom and hallway area was re-planned to add a powder room. The custom plaster moldings and millwork details for which Rodman Paul Architects is well known, along with touches like the custom designed marble mantelpiece, have created a feeling of timeless elegance.
This renovation of a sprawling duplex respects its Landmark location with early twentieth century neo-classical details and elegant finishes. Originally divided into three separate units, the plan restores the apartment to the gracious layout conceived when the building was first built.
A collaboration with the founder of clothing company J. McLaughlin, this townhouse renovation was designed closely with the owners to capture their strong signature style.
The townhouse shares the historic Jones Wood Garden. Each room is an eclectic, bohemian collection of interesting antiques, modern and traditional inspired by the owners’ interest in anything… interesting. All six floors of this 1900’s townhouse were renovated over two phases.
Having grown up in this very large Fifth Avenue apartment, the owner’s goal was to refashion the apartment into a much more modern layout. The original plan, largely untouched since the 1940’s building was first built, had a service corridor that ran the length of the apartment, and numerous maids’ rooms. The new plan includes an oval foyer, a mahogany library opening to the living room, and a large dining room built to accommodate business functions as well as family events. The décor strives for understated elegance, using a mix of family antiques, mid-century French furniture, and custom made pieces.
To better suit the lifestyle of our clients, a cramped four-bedroom Park Avenue apartment was liberated by combining several small bedrooms into a gracious master suite, complete with his and hers walk-in closets and bathrooms. The plan radiates around a central gallery space, with living spaces open to each other but screened with carefully placed walls, columns, and concealed door openings.
