If you’ve spent any amount of time in New York, you know that is a city of great architecture. New and old, the architecture in NYC is one of the many characteristics that propel this to be considered one of the greatest cities in The World. Classic architecture is more than just hard work and a solid foundation. It’s a hallmark to the times of when a city was still under development, a testament to those who believed in the future of a city. For these reasons we reserve a special place for historical buildings and classical architecture in our appreciation for architecture. Because for some the allure of sleek, modern lines are too much to resist. While they love the character of brick and warmth of wood, they prefer modern, clean architecture.
Mixing The Best Of Both
In order to restore a building and make it better than it once was, designers need to come from a place of deep love and respect for what’s been done in the past. Also, being able to synthesize the characteristics of a neighborhood’s surrounding architecture and landscape is crucial in preserving a building’s history and legacy while still giving it the updates residents have become accustomed to. If you’re looking for a West Village apartment with the historical character you love without the drafts, old appliances, piping and musty smell that comes with buildings with age, look no further. With updates such as ¾” solid oak floors in herringbone pattern complete with new understructures, insulated UV protected windows and a completely restored façade, you will not feel drafts or hear the creaks of an old building, you will feel the elegance and refinement of West Village apartment living.
Building Beauty From The Inside Out
Amenities such as heating and cooling with a multi-zone VRF system and an emergency generator, in the event of a loss of power, were not included when this building originally opened in 1895. Today, the amenities don’t stop there. A doorman, elevator, gym and garden are all part of this newly renovated and reengineered building’s charm. For some living in a beautifully restored building is a dream but for you it very well could be a dream come true. If you’re looking for an updated building with a beautiful, classic presence combined with an updated, modern interior, look no further.
