West Village Residence

The West Village Residence is a complete renovation of a duplex penthouse apartment, reimagined for a growing family and a lifestyle centered on gathering. The project unites two formerly separate units into a single, cohesive home, requiring the strategic removal of a central structural wall that once divided the interior. Through carefully engineered interventions, the design opens the living, dining, and kitchen spaces into a fluid, light-filled core organized around a centrally located kitchen and discreet service passage that doubles as a pantry. The reconfigured layout accommodates three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a playroom, and a compact upper-level office with a concealed shower tucked behind custom millwork. Living and dining areas are oriented to newly revealed views up Eighth Avenue, creating visual depth that was previously obscured. A 300-square-foot terrace extends the home outdoors, featuring a custom-designed kitchen that supports frequent entertaining and city-facing views.
