The Meredith Townes Project was a small backyard of a townhome. The clients had wanted to transform their existing backyard with a small patio to a New Orleans style courtyard. The homeowners enjoyed gourmet cooking and fine wines and wanted a place for entertaining friends. They also wanted a quiet private retreat where they could relax at the end of the day. Their wish list included a fountain and planters. Meredith Townes were constructed in the 1970’s. This led to some challenges in design and construction of the courtyard. The original oversized brick used on the walls on either side of the courtyard were no longer being produced. Due to the age of the walls, attaching structures was not permitted. Other obstacles included the locations of the HVAC unit and the utility boxes. Working with the homeowners, the designer developed three concepts for the courtyard. When the clients determined the preferred layout, a detailed design was developed. There was much attention devoted to the selection of materials for the courtyard. The Mason went to great lengths to find brick that strongly resembled the existing obsolete brick. Every element of the project was carefully analyzed before selection was made, from the fountain mask, to the tile, to the faucet handles. The HVAC was moved to an enclosed storage area outside the courtyard and a fenced corner of the courtyard to conceal the grill and serve as additional storage. Photos by M. Liljequist

Foyer - traditional dark wood floor foyer idea in New York with gray walls

The owners of this prewar apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan wanted to combine two dark and tightly configured units into a single unified space. StudioLAB was challenged with the task of converting the existing arrangement into a large open three bedroom residence. The previous configuration of bedrooms along the Southern window wall resulted in very little sunlight reaching the public spaces. Breaking the norm of the traditional building layout, the bedrooms were moved to the West wall of the combined unit, while the existing internally held Living Room and Kitchen were moved towards the large South facing windows, resulting in a flood of natural sunlight. Wide-plank grey-washed walnut flooring was applied throughout the apartment to maximize light infiltration. A concrete office cube was designed with the supplementary space which features walnut flooring wrapping up the walls and ceiling. Two large sliding Starphire acid-etched glass doors close the space off to create privacy when screening a movie. High gloss white lacquer millwork built throughout the apartment allows for ample storage. LED Cove lighting was utilized throughout the main living areas to provide a bright wash of indirect illumination and to separate programmatic spaces visually without the use of physical light consuming partitions. Custom floor to ceiling Ash wood veneered doors accentuate the height of doorways and blur room thresholds. The master suite features a walk-in-closet, a large bathroom with radiant heated floors and a custom steam shower. An integrated Vantage Smart Home System was installed to control the AV, HVAC, lighting and solar shades using iPads.
