Sutton Place Residence

New York, NY

Renovation of a German designer’s New York City pied-à-terre

Originally envisioned as a showcase for a significant collection of contemporary art and antique furniture, this aerie also possessed spectacular Manhattan views. Fradkin & McAlpin reconfigured the space to make the most of them. We replaced part of a masonry wall with glass and joined it to a skylight we had discovered, creating a panoramic greenhouse-like study. We also finessed a cramped central gallery to open it to the vistas at either end.
