LEONTI<\/h4>\n

Space is within a residential building in the landmarked Upper West Side Historic District<\/strong>. It did not immediately seem a natural fit for a restaurant. Directly inside an arched front door is a modest landing followed by a half flight of stairs. This entry forms one leg of a Y-shaped floorplan, with the only possible location for the bar in the other leg. The spaces\u2019 remoteness from each other contravenes an instinct to lead with the liveliest space in the house<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

PROSPECT LEFFERTS TOWNHOUSE<\/h4>\n

GRT Architects<\/strong> was asked to renovate a four-story townhouse in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District. This twelve-block residential neighborhood was Landmarked in 1979 and the appearance of buildings within were often governed by covenants set in place by the Lefferts family that controlled heights, setbacks, and fa\u00e7ade materials. The earliest buildings in the area show the influence of then-popular H.H. Richardson in the classic<\/strong> Romanesque styles, but the 1893 World\u2019s Columbian Exposition brought Neo-Classical Beaux-Arts to the fore.<\/p>\n

OBJECTIVE SUBJECT OFFICES<\/h4>\n

When adapting nineteenth-century buildings to new functions we more often than not find ourselves removing walls to accommodate new users\u2019 needs. In this case, we found that radically accentuating the differences between existing rooms<\/strong> and playing up the separation uniquely suited our client\u2019s desire for an intimate workspace designed more like a home<\/strong> than an office.<\/p>\n

HUDSON RIVER RENOVATION<\/h4>\n

GRT<\/strong> was asked to renovate a mid-century home designed<\/strong> by one of the first female architects to graduate from Columbia University\u2019s architecture program. She also happened to be the client\u2019s grandmother. Situated high on the east bank of the Hudson River the house is a strong, rational design<\/strong> that foregrounds views and the connection to the natural world outside.<\/p>\n
