Built in the early 1950’s, the 3-bedroom home was passed down through three generation; parents to son, and finally, to grandson. The grandson was getting married, and he and his spouse would make this house their home in which to raise their family. Seventy years later, the house had seen better days. It was chopped up and in need of remodeling. The couple wanted an open floor plan, and what was once an 11-room house, would be remodeled into a beautiful open floor plan with 3 guest bedrooms, along with a spacious primary bedroom with an on-suite bath and his and hers closets.

When marrying two Upper West Side apartments to accommodate a growing family’s needs, the team at Axis Mundi was faced with a conundrum: how to distinctly delineate public and private spaces without sacrificing the greater openness conferred by the expansion. So they limned that line with a six-foot square sliding glass door, which enables parents to block out the sounds of rambunctious youth emanating from private quarters, while also shielding sleeping children from the later night activities of their parents—all of it without obscuring light or affecting the impression of open-plan living. Continuity of materials—hand-scraped walnut plank floors, a custom bamboo veneer kitchen and living room shelving—enhances the sense of sweeping, loft-like spaces. Materials also create intriguing textural contrasts, as in a powder room where a high-tech glass sink and black stainless steel penny tile is softened by a leather door with contrast stitching one must open to enter the space. Highlights: A pair of Gio Ponti lounge chairs, black glass rock tables and a William Yeoward area rug from the Rug Company (living room), sliding glass shower door from Magnum in the master bath.
