Courtyard Townhouse

New York, NY

Creative tension is being explored between an overscaled brick warehouse, a rotating collection of large-scale paintings and sculpture, and a comfortable, elegant home. The strong materiality and large scale elements of the intervention evoke the raw, massive building underneath, while crisp details create a counterpoint to form, space, and structure. A carved plaster stair serves as a touchstone connecting all of the major spaces to the entrance and central courtyard, while harnessing the structural energy of the existing building.
