The Upper West Side Townhouse is a comprehensive renovation of a landmarked late 19th-century residence in Manhattan. Prior alterations had obscured the building’s original proportions and circulation. The project restores architectural clarity while adapting the house for contemporary family life across five levels and a roof terrace. A new custom white oak stair connects the home vertically, establishing a clear spatial sequence from entry through the parlor floors. Historic details were repaired where possible, and new interventions are simple and material-driven.

A consistent palette of fumed white oak, stone, plaster, and painted millwork provides continuity throughout. The kitchen and dining level is anchored by French limestone floors, custom millwork, and a brick cooking hearth. The family rooms above are shaped through proportion and surface, including a Venetian plaster living room with a custom Carrara marble mantel and a cork-lined library with built-in bookcases. Ample outdoor spaces extend the living areas, with a planted terrace at the main level and a roof terrace above.

Interiors were developed in collaboration with Leonora Hamill Studio, with landscape design by Grace Fuller Design.
