Margarete Schütte-LIihotzky’s kitchen, installed at Margarete Schütte-LIihotzky Zentrum
The powder room contains a custom stone sink in lilac marble sourced from ABC stone. The purple veining nods to the original bold purple of the front door.
The penthouse level contains a new kitchenette and opens to a front and back terrace.
The designers decided to relocate the stair to the center of the townhome, allowing more natural light to enter the core of the building via a skylight overhead. A custom oak handrail fabricated by Paragon Woodworks runs from top to bottom.
Because the owners wanted to add an additional level including a family room and roof deck to the top floor of the townhouse, the architects needed to stabilize the foundation to accommodate the additional weight.
The townhouse had a small addition at the back which was added in the 1960s, but the designers decided to remove it in favor of creating an outdoor deck right off the relocated kitchen.
