The single family town home at 312 West 11th Street is in a landmarked district. Our approach was to renovate the entire house, inside and out, front and rear facades, to restore it more sympathetically to its natural layout and character. The renovation included clarifying the spaces on each floor and simplifying the stair configuration; lowering the slab in the cellar and garden space; restructuring the rear masonry wall to accommodate new taller windows; a new front façade, windows and shutters; new heating and air conditioning systems; new interior finishes including wide plank pine floors and custom built-in furniture – some of which required providing built-in areas to accommodate owner-provided pieces and new electrical and plumbing. The rear garden and roof terrace were designed and built in collaboration with a Landscape Architect.
