Design Drivers & Key Moves
Connect two existing units on adjacent floors of existing building with two new, architecturally-significant staircases.
Open up a heavily-subdivided Beaux Arts floor plan, pulling park-side light & views deep into the plan.
Zone circulation and provide flexible partitioning of spaces for formal & informal use without shutting down the desired openness and spatial clarity.
Provide elegant, grand spaces for entertaining and intimate, soft ones for daily family life within a common formal and material language
Maximize storage throughout both floors and develop custom, architecturally-integrated storage hubs for various specific aspects of the family’s life.
