Project: Renovation of a West Village Apartment
Architects: Andrew Franz Architect
Location: New York, NY, United States
Size: 1,100 SF
Completion: 2019
Photographer: Albert Vecerka/Esto
Our gut renovation of this 1100sf apartment in the West Village sought to open up the highly compartmentalized plan and introduce longer views through different spaces and out over its view of Sheridan Square. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, pivoting glass louvers, and free-floating millwork allow the ceiling to stretch continuously throughout, making each room feel more spacious than its dimensions would suggest.
Integrated and efficient storage was prioritized to allow the space to remain clutter-free, while close attention was paid to the detailing of crisp new plaster against the raw exposed structural columns. Warmth, texture, and color were introduced through solid end-grain parquet flooring, rift white oak cabinetry, forest green doors, misty ceramic tile, and contrasting slabs of terrazzo and schist.
