A townhouse in Manhattan
Today we invite you to the interior designed by the LANG Architecture studio. The four-story, 3,000-square-foot townhouse is located in Manhattan's historic Saint Mark neighborhood, not far from the church of the same name.
The project is located on Stuyvesant Street, one of the oldest streets in the city that once connected two farms owned by Peter Stuyvesant.
The tenement house was built in 1845 and presented many challenges typical of older structures. All interiors needed a thorough renovation. One of the priorities was to provide more natural light to the house and to connect the living room with the terrace overlooking the garden.
The kitchen has been placed in the center of the house to reflect the customers' passion for cooking and spending time together. The kitchen cabinets were prepared in a two-step process, first by bleaching the wood and then staining.
Bleaching lightened the color and emphasized the grain of the wood. The natural grain in the cabinets mirrors the white oak floor and slatted ceiling. Most of the stairs in the house have been preserved in their original form, and at the request of the owners, an exposed brick wall was left behind.
The furniture is largely Danish vintage gems, modern accessories from Modernlink, a New York-based dealer and furniture manufacturer William Lee's store. The tapestries are the work of the American artist Margot Becker.
