Collector's Brownstone

73 profile views

This four-story Upper West Side townhouse was converted from a five-family building back into a single-family home, done in partnership with Elizabeth Roberts Architects and featured in Architectural Digest. The design takes a French-inspired approach, with a sweeping curved staircase, arched niches, paneled closets and a red Lacanche range at the heart of the kitchen. A deep oxblood library holds the owners' collection of books and art. All new mechanical systems sit behind the restored details. A garden courtyard and roof terrace finish the house, which now feels collected, historic and made for family life.

“Antoin wasn’t just honest, reliable, and pleasant, three traits that aren’t often found in contractors – he was an active problem solver who worked closely with me, my spouse, and our architect to achieve our goal at a reasonable cost. Our goal: gut-renovation of a 7,500 square foot brownstone without destroying its charm. I’m not sure if it was Antoin’s old-world sensibilities or his appreciation of craft or merely his ability to grasp other people’s visions, but Antoin gave us exactly what we wanted. And we enjoyed the process. I highly recommend him.”
