This project was for a newly married couple looking to correct some wrongs done to this wonderful residence. The unit was in a building built in 1911 and had outstanding original details, with some really ill-advised remodel choices made by a previous owner. Our directive was to bring the entire unit up to a level of quality and sophistication that reflected its rich history. The first phase of the project was to redesign the existing fireplace conditions on the living and dining room walls. In addition to providing some much needed storage, and an only slightly less needed wet bar, we brought the mantles and fireplace surrounds to a place that felt as though they had always been. The second phase was to remodel the master bath, and add an additional guest bath within a fairly tight footprint – all with an eye to making it seem as if it had always been… Photography: Emily Hagopian
