Stunning Interiors of A Gramercy Park Townhouse

Posted: 10 Apr 2012 06:21 AM PDT

Redesign interiors of a 1848 Gramercy Park townhouse for the Isaly family.

“Their dream was simple but ambitious: the reconfiguration of the building into two dwellings, one atop the other, of equal value and scale. At the same time, the structure's deteriorated condition meant investing in a whole new steel frame as well as replacement electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. “ Continue for more.

With its grand bones and patrician façade, this 1848 Gramercy Park townhouse presented exciting challenges for the new generation of the Isaly family. Previous conversions had left one large triplex crowned by three loft-like residences. ……..The result is a Manhattan address that captivates like few others. The walls and ceilings of the living and kitchen area are punctuated with the sensuous sculptures and exploding light fixtures of Garcia and Maurer. The bricks-and-mortar rear wall of the two main floors has vanished, replaced by a glass curtain fitted with tiny diodes, invisible by day but glinting at night like a private constellation. The outdoor terrace leading from the living room has a glass floor and overlooks the private gardens below. With every available patch of roof converted into usable space, the house boasts two more terraces as well as a roof deck.   by Fractal Construction
