Carriage House
An historic Greenwich Village carriage house was transformed into a luminous showcase of contemporary art, anchored by an open-plan living area that includes a James Turrell light installation. As additions to the building were prohibited by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the design team excavated below, adding a basement with a theater, wine cellar, and bar. A sculptural, switchback staircase connects all four levels, culminating at a rooftop terrace.
