This contemporary townhouse renovation project is the work of Robert A.M. Stern Architects, located in the West Village, a neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Built in 1847 and subdivided into apartments over time, this townhouse was restored to a single-family residence for a young couple who valued its history and location but desired a contemporary interior suited to the needs of a growing family. A basement-level, double-height room faces south to the garden, retaining the composition of the Victorian-era tea porch overlooked by the parlor floor above. The upper floors accommodate bedrooms and a whimsical turret at the children’s play area presiding over the skylighted stair.
What We Love: This townhouse renovation project offers a beautifully renovated living space that preserves all of the historical charm of the home’s past. The new layout offers a family warm and inviting spaces both indoors and out. We are loving the cozy outdoor courtyard with its lush greenery, an idyllic spot to spend time relaxing in the heart of a busy urban center. The voluminous double-height living room is a grand space for both family living and entertaining… Readers, please share with us in the Comments what details in this townhouse caught your eye and why, we love reading your feedback!
