WASHINGTON SQUARE TOWNHOUSE
GREENWICH VILLAGE, NEW YORK
As a native New Yorker, working on an iconic Greenwich Village townhouse development was a great honor. Working with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the 150-year-old facade was restored to its original grandeur with a completely new building constructed behind it. The once multi-family dwelling was repositioned back into a single 7-story, 9,300 square foot residence with unparalleled views of Washington Square Park, The Empire State Building and One World Trade.
As the space planning process of vertical living differs from horizontal, public and private space were considered even more acutely. We focused on functionality foremost to ensure a comfortable layout amongst the seven stories. We also considered how the foundation would impact design decisions and how proximity to neighbors would impact overall use. Working within the confines of building in an urban environment, the home was designed to invite the outdoors in. It sold as the 16th highest sale in New York in 2015 at $21.65MM, or $2,300 per square foot.
