PJCArchitecture created an elegant and inviting pied-à-terre on Manhattan’s Park Avenue for a Floridian philanthropist with a passion for art and design. Challenged to retrofit a turn-of-the-century envelope into a contemporary, open-plan layout, the team removed almost all existing nonbearing walls to reshape the space from a fresh slate. In collaboration with Quadrant Development Consultants, Rodney D. Gibble Consulting Engineers, and ABS Engineering, PJCA developed an open and airy home, elevated through personalized custom detailing. Celebrating the client’s style and sophistication, the refreshed home is intimate and modern with just a touch of art deco influence and plenty of display space to showcase the client’s extensive art collection.
To complete the ambience and give it a warm and sophisticated atmosphere, Listone Giordano parquet flooring was chosen, in the Listone 140 Cashmere Italian herringbone model, which further enriches the aesthetics of the home, with its luxurious texture and refined Italian herringbone laying pattern.
PJCA took advantage of every inch of space, creating floor-to-ceiling storage in the back corners of the space via removable panels. Along the opposite wall, panels slide upward to reveal a Calacatta Caldia marble wet bar. A long hallway lined with floor-to-ceiling wood veneer panels backs away from the library and gives the impression of a simple paneled space, but several panels open to reveal a hidden laundry room, bathroom, and second bedroom.
