Located on West End Avenue in Manhattan, with stunning views of the Hudson, this beautiful home combines the comfortable feel of a suburban house with the sophistication and location of a high-end city apartment. This 6,700 square foot, full floor, gut renovation is the perfect house in the city. The generous foyer, modern kitchen and stylish dining room, living room and family room are designed for hosting functions and fundraisers. On the other side of the home, Studio ST Architects created a large “basement playroom” for the family’s three young sons by combining two bedrooms. A service entry was made into a mudroom. The design conveys a soft opulence, luxurious yet comfortable, beautiful and functional. Esther Sperber, founder of Studio ST Architects, believes that design is a collaborative process. In the order to foster a collaborative design process the firm created numerous photo realistic computer renderings of each room which enabled a lively dialogue between the architects and clients, sparking unexpected creative ideas.
