The former Bowery Lane Theatre, which became an Off-Broadway theatre was originally a bank building with a cast-iron façade constructed from 1873 to 1874, designed by Henry Engelbert in the Italianate style. The project spanned from 2011 to 2015, and involved the complete renovation of the top three floors of this iconic building, including the rooftop penthouse and garden. The classic features and architectural elements of the cast-iron façade generate a beautiful rhythm of tall openings that flood the inner spaces with natural light. The interior design reflects this important legacy by generating a sequence of rooms that have a strong relationship with the façade and the cadence of openings and exterior views.
前博威雷恩剧院（BoweryLaneTheater），该剧院成为OffBroadway剧院，最初是一座银行大楼，由亨利恩格尔伯特（HenryEngelbert）设计的意大利风格，于1873年至1874年建造。该项目跨度为2011年至2015年，涉及该标志性建筑顶部三层的完整改造，包括屋顶顶层和花园。铸铁立面的经典特征和建筑元素产生了一个美丽的高开口的节奏，使内部空间充满自然光。室内设计反映了这一重要的遗产，通过生成一系列房间，这些房间与立面以及洞口和外部视图的进度有着密切的关系。

The fourth floor contains the main public functions of this private residence for a family of four. From the main hall, an important visual axis connects the grand living area and the library with the family kitchen, creating a sense of grandeur but also interconnecting all the spaces as an immersive spatial experience. The library was conceived as a multifunctional space; an extension of the adjacent areas, creating a comfortable and homely playroom or a more formal dining area if required. The fifth floor accommodates all the private and night zones, with special emphasis given to the master bedroom, which is designed as private suite with a vanity that continues in the different zones of the bedroom. The bathroom assumes the central role in the space, connecting both the dressing rooms, steam showers and sleeping area. The top floor includes a rooftop lounge, located behind the façade, along with an outdoor covered terrace and a spa area. A long architectural element in natural stone unifies the different areas, creating a strong relationship between interior and exterior spaces, and housing a concealed firepit, an outdoor and indoor kitchen counter and the hot tub. The interior atmosphere is serene, created by a particular selection of materials that generate comfortable and inviting spaces, rendering an exclusive but homely feeling. French oak is used, on floors but also in all cabinet interiors, and most particularly in the family kitchen, giving the whole space a warm atmosphere. Sandblasted French limestone is used in bespoke sinks and for the cladding of special rooms like the master shower and the main living room fireplace, while honed Carrara marble is used on secondary bathrooms. Completing this palette of materials, the master suite walls are completely upholstered in grey cashmere. All hardware and metal elements in the project are executed in dark bronze, creating a dramatic contrast with other surface finishes. The intervention extended to the building’s lobby, and the aesthetic supervision of the façade renovation works. It is a complete and comprehensive intervention that truly respects the heritage of such an iconic structure while creating the ideal home retreat in New York City.
四楼是四口之家的私人住宅的主要公共设施。从主大厅看，一个重要的视觉轴连接着宏伟的客厅和图书馆与家庭厨房，创造了一种壮观的感觉，同时也将所有的空间作为一种沉浸式的空间体验相互联系在一起。图书馆被认为是一个多功能的空间，是相邻区域的延伸，如果需要的话，可以创建一个舒适、简朴的游戏室或一个更正式的就餐区。第五层可容纳所有私人和夜间区域，特别强调主卧室，这是作为私人套房设计的，在卧室的不同区域继续保持虚荣心。浴室在空间中扮演中心角色，连接更衣室、蒸汽淋浴和睡眠区。顶层包括一个屋顶休息室，位于立面后面，还有一个室外露台和一个水疗区。天然石材中的一个长长的建筑元素将不同的区域结合在一起，创造了内部和外部空间之间的强大关系，并容纳了一个隐蔽的火炉、一个室外和室内厨房柜台以及热水浴缸。室内的气氛是平静的，创造了一个特定的材料选择，创造舒适和诱人的空间，使一种独特的，但家庭的感觉。法国橡木用于地板上，但也适用于所有橱柜内部，特别是在家庭厨房，给整个空间一个温暖的气氛。喷砂的法国石灰石用于定制水槽和包覆特殊的房间，如主淋浴和主客厅壁炉，而磨碎的卡拉大理石用于二次浴室。完成这一调色板的材料，主套房墙壁是完全软垫灰色羊绒。项目中的所有硬件和金属元素都是用暗青铜制作的，与其他表面饰面形成了鲜明的对比。干预扩展到建筑物的大厅，以及对立面翻修工程的美学监督。这是一个完整和全面的干预措施，真正尊重这样一个标志性结构的遗产，同时在纽约市建立理想的家园。
