DURODECO RENOVATES LANDMARKED HOME ON CENTRAL PARK WEST WITH STRATEGIC EDITS TO EXPAND KITCHEN WITHOUT ENLARGING FOOTPRINT
Homeowners of a two-bedroom apartment in the historic El Dorado building sought to reconfigure its layout and reallocate space to achieve maximum expansiveness.
UPPER WEST SIDE, MANHATTAN – New York City-based design studio durodeco completes a full modern interior redesign within a landmarked Art Deco building, enlarging a small kitchen with innovative layout solutions and embracing historic motifs within a contemporary context.
New homeowners of a 1,985 square foot (2-bed, 2-bath) residential unit within the historic Art Deco “El Dorado” building on Central Park West commissioned durodeco to complete a full renovation that included architectural layout reconfigurations, interior design, and custom millwork design. To start, the studio assessed the original layout of the apartment unit and, given the building’s landmarked status, considered strategic edits to modernize the space within co-op and city parameters.
One primary layout consideration was to functionally expand the kitchen without enlarging its footprint, as doing so was not allowed per co-op rules. The studio accomplished this task by reallocating space from the generous foyer and converting it into a pantry with direct access to the dining room. The dining room then became the connector between the original kitchen and the new pantry space, with a cohesive material palette carefully chosen to create an aesthetic connection.
Another strong design consideration was how to integrate new elements into the original Art Deco architecture. This was accomplished by replicating an original arched opening to the living room, using the same arched form to link new connections between the reconfigured rooms. A new tile inlay floor was also installed, which helped define the new foyer. The intricate mosaic made of Carrara Marble and Stainless Steel was a nod to the innovative use of metals often seen in Art Deco design.
In another strategy, the studio used forms that echo Art Deco motifs but adjusted for a more contemporary overall look and feel. An example of this was in the Living Room millwork, where durodeco created a series of concentric, stepped niches along the wall that each house custom-made cerused oak cabinetry and shelving. Finally, the layout also incorporated walk-in closets, double sinks in the primary bathroom, a washer/dryer, and a pantry space.
The interior design is a blend of reupholstered vintage furniture pieces from the owners’ collection, along with new furnishings selected for their craftsmanship and detailing that offer a fresh take on the intricacies of art deco design.
