While the facade of the home was designed to take advantage of the waterfront scenery, it is the rooftop patio that truly celebrates the view. Towering six stories above the street, the Novogratzes gain an unobstructed view clear to New Jersey. To soften up the urban scenery, the designers planted a container garden of hardy shrubs, flowers and trees. The seating is kept informal with the use of woven rattan chairs and sectional pieces. A color palette of brown, grey, and blue stripes evokes a nautical feel in the heart of the city.

The challenge with this project was to transform a very traditional house into something more modern and suited to the lifestyle of a young couple just starting a new family. We achieved this by lightening the overall color palette with soft grays and neutrals. Then we replaced the traditional dark colored wood and tile flooring with lighter wide plank hardwood and stone floors. Next we redesigned the kitchen into a more workable open plan and used top of the line professional level appliances and light pigmented oil stained oak cabinetry. Finally we painted the heavily carved stained wood moldings and library and den cabinetry with a fresh coat of soft pale light reflecting gloss paint. Photographer: James Koch

This Kitchen was carved out of a former Maids Room and Pantry in order to provide an "open-concept" Kitchen/Family Room which opens into a Living/Dining Room. While the spaces are all open to one another, each is defined separately to maintain the pre-war character of the apartment. In this instance, the peninsula is contained within a large cased opening which also incorporates custom storage cabinets. Photo by J. Nefsky
