Architect Peter Pennoyer transformed this 1857 New York City townhouse after the interior has been altered too many times. The building or the townhouse is a four-floor Italianate redbrick building in Greenwich Village which had been previously converted into separate apartments and as a consequence many of its original features and layout had been removed. The owner of the townhouse enlisted Architect Peter Pennoyer for the major undertaking of the Interior Architecture and Shawn Henderson for the Interior Design. Pennoyer is known for his elegant classic aesthetic “I usually like to keep the old materials, the beams, at least,” the architect says. “But this was unsalvageable.” as told to AD. And so it all began on a three year renovation project to restore the single family home and bring it back to its original beauty. The serpentine staircase illuminated by a skyline is the master piece of the renovation and it was further embellished with subtle texture and flecks of silver leaf added by Henderson over its white plaster walls. To see the before pictures of this impressive transformation go here.
This living room is the epitome of glamour, from the color scheme and the art work to the furniture selection.
