FLEXIBLE SPACE
The expansive residences have highly malleable layouts with few obstructions, allowing New Yorkers to create spaces for contemporary living. Gone are the small and compartmentalized living quarters of yesteryear; in their place stand elegant rooms with generous proportions that allow residents to adapt the space as they desire—and alter it with ease.
A PROPER KITCHEN
Today, a kitchen is more than just a place for preparing meals. It is the social hub of a residence, a room for conversation, play, homework and dining. The floating island provides a table at which to sit and work, with room for stools so a convivial meal can be served. By the window, an extra prep zone doubles as an office nook, with a custom leather blotter and a stool that tucks beneath the countertop. Busy owners can toggle between work and home life in this central room that makes a strong statement about contemporary urban living.
A SECLUDED SANCTUARY
To achieve a master suite that would dazzle discerning residents, a large bedroom embraced by a large bathroom, a walk-in closet and a generously sized hanging closet were created within the light-filled and secluded master suite.
A BETTER BOUDOIR
Victorian vanities are often centerpieces in period homes, offering lovely flourishes but little storage space. Here, those same graceful bones and sculptural chrome legs are outfitted with custom cabinetry for added functionality. It’s a beautiful hybrid, a subtlety that cannot be found elsewhere.
BLOCK BEAUTIFUL
78 Irving stands proudly as part of the Gramercy Park Historic District, a neighborhood that retains a sense of literary nobility. From the outside, this is a building that helped coin the term Block Beautiful; from the inside, it peers tree level onto the renowned architecture that surrounds it. This is New York living with an authentic sense of place and history.
