Reverse Shed Eichler
This project is part tear-down, part remodel. The original L-shaped plan allowed the living/ dining/ kitchen wing to be completely re-built while retaining the shell of the bedroom wing virtually intact. The rebuilt entertainment wing was enlarged 50% and covered with a low-slope reverse-shed roof sloping from eleven to thirteen feet. The shed roof floats on a continuous glass clerestory with eight foot transom. Cantilevered steel frames support wood roof beams with eaves of up to ten feet. An interior glass clerestory separates the kitchen and livingroom for sound control. A wall-to-wall skylight illuminates the north wall of the kitchen/family room. New additions at the back of the house add several “sliding” wall planes, where interior walls continue past full-height windows to the exterior, complimenting the typical Eichler indoor-outdoor ceiling and floor planes. The existing bedroom wing has been re-configured on the interior, changing three small bedrooms into two larger ones, and adding a guest suite in part of the original garage. A previous den addition provided the perfect spot for a large master ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Natural materials predominate, with fir ceilings, limestone veneer fireplace walls, anigre veneer cabinets, fir sliding windows and interior doors, bamboo floors, and concrete patios and walks. Landscape design by Bernard Trainor: www.bernardtrainor.com (see “Concrete Jungle” in April 2014 edition of Dwell magazine). Microsoft Media Center installation of the Year, 2008: www.cybermanor.com/ultimate_install.html (automated shades, radiant heating system, and lights, as well as security & sound).

State-of-the-art home theater environment featuring a sound isolated room, a 227” 2.40:1 aspect ratio screen illuminated by a dual laser projection system, and an 11.2.4 immersive audio system delivering an outstanding movie AND music experience. The control system simplifies extremely unique customer requirements such as a dual screen mode to enable watching two A/V sources simultaneously – one heard through the audio system, and the second through headphones. Granular lighting control provides zones to support movie playback, game-room style usage, and an intimate reading and music environment.
The room was built from the ground up as “floating” room featuring a custom engineered isolation system, floating concrete floor, and unique speaker placement system. Designed by industry renowned acoustician Russ Berger, the room’s noise floor measured quieter than a typical recording studio and produces a pinpoint accurate reference audio experience. Powered by a 20kW RoseWater HUB20, electrical noise and potential power interruptions are completely eliminated. The audio system is driven by 11.1kW of amplification powering a reference speaker system. Every detail from structural to mechanical, A/V, lighting, and control was carefully planned and executed by a team of experts whose passion, dedication, and commitment to quality are evident to anyone who experiences it.

One57 Residence
“Perfectly situated in the most prestigious condominium on Billionaire’s Row, this 4,116-square foot trophy residence has been completely upgraded by world renowned architectural and design innovators, DHD. The epitome of luxury, this residence offers the most breathtaking views of Central Park, the Hudson River and all points south, east, north and west. With three bedrooms and three and half bathrooms, this residence boasts soaring ceilings which are complemented by panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and dramatic vistas. Upon walking in, one finds a picturesque windowed entrance gallery overlooking Central Park with custom marble slab flooring. Off the gallery is the Grand Salon which spans over 42-feet with two walls of windows providing a centerpiece for this architectural masterpiece. This room offers the ideal setting for formal entertaining with captivating panoramic views of Central Park and the iconic Manhattan skyline which includes the Chrysler and Empire State buildings to the South and the Hudson River to the West. This Grand Salon, complemented by custom built ins and bookshelves, is finished in Venetian plaster including the ceiling as well as ebonized solid white oak and custom bronze paneling. There is a magnificent sculpted ceiling vault on the southern section of the room creating a dramatic setting for dining which is further heightened by hand painted white gold leaf on the east wall.
For large scale entertaining the Grand Salon has a custom wet bar with a sink which is accompanied by storage, a refrigerator and freezer drawers. Adjacent, one finds the windowed eat-in kitchen facing south with picturesque views of the river, skyline and Empire State Building. Lined with Smallbone custom cabinets, the kitchen boasts an ebonized white oak built in desk with a leather work surface and metal trim along with custom cabinets. This kitchen has state-of-the-art Miele professional appliances which include two refrigerator/freezers, two convection ovens, a five-burner vented range, a grill, a griddle, a warming drawer, a dishwasher and coffee system as well as a Subzero wine refrigerator and a built-in Wolf microwave. There is also a small wall on the center island which provides privacy for the chef.
Next is a powder room finished in onyx with a custom specialty wall and ceiling paint treatment. The epic corner master suite faces north and east with stunning panoramic views of Central Park and both rivers, illuminating the room with tons of sunlight throughout the day. There is a lavish windowed walk-in dressing room which is encompassed by custom white oak paneling and includes a built in safe. The beautiful en-suite corner master bathroom is lined with windows accompanied by radiant heat coming from the floors, an enormous walk in shower which is also windowed, a deep soaking bathtub and two water closets. The bathroom is finished with marble slabbed floors and electric shades. The remaining two bedroom suites are also windowed with breathtaking views, each with two closets and en-suite bathrooms containing a separate shower and bathtub. The laundry room has a LG vented washer/dryer along with a sink and tons of storage. There is a hallway utility closet which also boasts an abundance of storage space. The highest quality finishes were used throughout the home including a Lutron lighting system, automated shading and drapes with Lutron controls, invisible speakers in the ceiling of the Grand Salon and Master bedroom, an upgraded five-zone HVAC system, rich hardwood flooring and gorgeous fixtures by Dornbracht. This custom unit is a one-of-a-kind residence with a level of luxury that is rarely seen in New York City.” – via Corcoran

Hidden within the walls and tucked in out of the way spaces are awe-inspiring audio features. Sonance speakers, a Sony receiver, and James Loudspeaker subwoofer harmoniously distribute audio throughout the space. Lutron lighting creates soft and tranquil illumination while Lutron shading controls sunlight, heat and cold exchange, and privacy.
