About Gramercy Townhouse
Gramercy Townhouse: A Modern Sanctuary
Gramercy Townhouse stands as a vertical gradient of spaces, offering a serene escape from New York City’s hustle. Occupants find solace, reconnecting with family, friends, and a community of South Asian artists. This project transforms a 19th-century townhouse into a modern haven with a new penthouse.
Elegant Living Spaces
On the lower levels, residents enjoy cooking, dining, socializing, and performing. These activities revolve around a cozy rear garden. Custom furniture, co-designed with collaborators, facilitates both intimate and large family gatherings.
Private Retreats and City Views
The upper levels offer quiet, private spaces, where contemplation meets urban vistas. Large angled windows, a sculptural skylight, and a rear terrace with an oculus create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Here, residents engage in a visual conversation with the city.
Unique Features for Versatile Living
This home uniquely balances family life and larger social events. It boasts an acoustically engineered music room, a media room for up to 15, and a versatile kitchen. The kitchen, intimate for four, expands to accommodate twelve. Collaborations with Danish artisans brought life to these bespoke furnishings, tailored to the townhouse’s distinctive needs.
