This duplex apartment is located in New York’s Greenwich Village. The overarching goal was to create spaces with unique atmospheres that add up to a coherent whole. On the lower level, a conservatory, created by demolishing the exterior wall of the kitchen, blends the inside with the outside and provides casual living space. A hot-rolled steel TV wall connects the conservatory with the formal dining room, maximizing the conservatory’s abundant natural light and spectacular views. Frosted glass panels close off the stair landing to create a study area overlooking the stair. On the second floor the original small master bathroom was combined with two closets to create the large bathroom tiled in marble and glass.
