House Cornice - Photos & Ideas

Full gut renovation and facade restoration of an historic 1850s wood-frame townhouse. The current owners found the building as a decaying, vacant SRO (single room occupancy) dwelling with approximately 9 rooming units. The building has been converted to a two-family house with an owner’s triplex over a garden-level rental. Due to the fact that the very little of the existing structure was serviceable and the change of occupancy necessitated major layout changes, nC2 was able to propose an especially creative and unconventional design for the triplex. This design centers around a continuous 2-run stair which connects the main living space on the parlor level to a family room on the second floor and, finally, to a studio space on the third, thus linking all of the public and semi-public spaces with a single architectural element. This scheme is further enhanced through the use of a wood-slat screen wall which functions as a guardrail for the stair as well as a light-filtering element tying all of the floors together, as well its culmination in a 5’ x 25’ skylight.

Study Remodel

Urban Kitchens and Baths, Inc.

Design by Phil Rudick, Architect, of Urban kitchens + Baths, Austin, Tx. The home owner used an extra bed room as a office/study. the goal was to create a space that would house and display his collectables and a space where he could organize and get work done. Increased storage was mandatory. The room was gutted along with the standard bed room closet and the design work began. The cabinets incorporate display, file drawers, office material storage and a small space for clothes hanger so that a guest could store clothing. The opposite wall features a massive antique oak roll top desk flanked by a floating desk and counter for equipment. the desk is made the focal point and new floating cabinets integrate visually. Over the new cabinets there are floating shelves which holds books and houses led down lighting. The cabinets go up to the nine foot ceiling and feature an out sized cornice with recessed led down lighting.

Upper East Side Brownstone

Rosenberg Kolb Architects

Our clients purchased a brownstone in a row of eclectic Queen Anne townhouses designed and built at the same time in the late 19th century. Over the years the building lost it’s original stoop and an ornate masonry cornice had been sheared off. The building had been converted to a multiple dwelling and many details had been lost. RKA designed a solution that expanded the living space and provided a transition from more formal traditional brownstone spaces to more open and contemporary spaces suited to a young family. A story was added, set back from the street to conform to Landmarks requirements, and the first three floors were expanded to the rear to create more living space. The street front and stoop were restored to their original condition based on historical research and documentation. New mechanical and electrical systems and an elevator were installed along with a state of the art media, HVAC and lighting control system accessible from the major living spaces throughout the house.
