West Village Townhouse
This 22-foot-wide townhouse in the West Village dates back to 1837. Over 180 years it had been divided into apartments and lost many original details to unsympathetic renovations. The clients brought us in to restore the home for their young family, with the brief to open up and modernize the plan, bring in natural light, and enhance the historic character that had made the property so appealing.
After stabilizing the structure, we fully restored the façades and interior, recreating the original stair and elaborate Greek Revival plaster moldings based on surviving fragments and precedent research. The antique fumed oak floor provides a warm foundation for a quiet palette of materials throughout.
