In 1996, the former parish house at St. George’s church in New York’s East Village was converted into condominium apartments. The result was an awkward relationship between the developer’s interior renovation and Leopold Eidlitz’s 1888 historic, Landmarked façade.
The original conversion attempted to “max out” the square footage, producing interior floors with little regard to the exterior window locations. The result for this unit was a duplex containing unusable square footage, uninhabitable spaces where the pitch met the floor, and several dormer windows only accessible by crawling. Other operable windows were left too high above eye level and gave the sixth floor space a basement-like quality.
Reconfiguration of the upper floor was paramount to producing the new and generous volume that regains light and air for both upper and lower levels. Achieving this volume required careful maneuvering and relocation of the master bath between exposed steel trusses. The slender lines of the structure inspired many of the new architectural details, lighting and furniture choices.
Reconnecting these volumes transformed a once ill-arranged apartment into a bright and harmonious space that benefits from a clear diagram and a reconciled connection between the historic exterior and reimagined interior elements.
