This 5,000 SF design/build townhouse was completely renovated for a new family of young professionals. The house design incorporates a new elevator, making it easier for the owners to entertain guests and friends over the 6 different levels of this urban dwelling. The kitchen and dining room are located on the garden level, adjacent to the lush backyard of the property. The garden level is connected to the 1st floor living room visually via a double height space with a balcony. A new rooftop patio was created with a kitchenette and chefs BBQ overlooking the NYC Uptown landscape. Finally one of the greatest challenges of this house was to create a full height cellar which was achieved by blasting the bedrock under the house.
