This three-bedroom Riverside Drive pre-war apartment was last renovated in the 1980's and its 2550 sf of space badly needed a complete refresh. The client came to Foley & Cox and SPG Architects to open the apartment's interiors to the expansive views and to brighten and update the space with a modern perspective.
To that end, the design team removed an abundance of veneered cabinetry that tightened the footprint of the entrance foyer and removed a bedroom wall, replacing it with a blackened bronze and glass partition that reveals the new home office. The large living area was similarly divided into two commodious seating areas with another bronze and glass partition, and is filled with modern and comfortably luxurious seating areas and enlivened with art.
The bones of the 1926 Schwartz and Gross Architects building are respected but enhanced, and original detailing is maintained and repaired, while new interventions are clearly differentiated with their respectful modernity.
