Lilian H Weinreich Architects’ renovation of this 430 sf studio apartment, situated in the prestigious Hampshire House on New York City’s Central Park South, creates serenity and eliminates excess with modern, essential, and compact design.
This 20-foot-wide wood frame townhouse, located at the end of a row along a narrow side yard, had existing front and rear extensions. The building volume was selectively manipulated—in some cases through addition, in others through subtraction—to improve room sizes, sequences and adjacencies.
Lilian H. Weinreich Architects has transformed the 36th and 37th floors of an existing post-war, residential tower in the premier upper west side of Manhattan, into a stunning 1,800sf duplex renovation. Designed for a retired couple with a love of classical music and ballet, it provides an urban retreat for their frequent visits to NY.
The challenge posed by the design of this 2500 SF West Village apartment was to accommodate a second level for bedrooms while maintaining the architectural integrity of the industrial loft characterized by exposed concrete beams and tall south-west corner windows that offer natural light and panoramic views of the Hudson River.
The layout was configured as an open, airy twenty by fifty foot by ten foot tall primary living space on the parlor floor lined on one side by a full-length bookshelf, art wall, and cat circulation and lounge space. This is a stunning light-filled home renovation project in Brooklyn.
In New York, where real estate it at a premium residential design can benefit from flex space planning. In combining two small 450 square foot studio apartments, Lilian H Weinreich Architects creates a smart, flexible, efficient space that can easily adapt to numerous living, entertaining, and working scenarios.
Located on the 32nd floor overlooking Madison Square Park, this 1,500-square-foot pied-a-terre integrates art and architecture seamlessly, creating opportunities to live passionately with both art and incredible views of the Manhattan skyline from every room.
This project is a renovation and extension to a 12′ wide rowhouse in Brooklyn, New York. BFDO completely gutted the existing four story brick building and added a two story extension.
