The design of this house is exciting in many ways. It is Manhattan’s first Certified Passive House, Certified LEED for Home Platinum and it is in a NYC Landmark district. The renovation consisted of restoring the Renaissance Revival style front façade, originally built in 1888-89 by Thom - Wilson, by bringing back the ornamental details and the entire stoop entry that was previously removed in the early 1940’s.

这所房子的设计在许多方面是令人兴奋的。这是曼哈顿的第一个认证被动房屋，认证LEED的家庭白金，它是在纽约的一个地标区。修缮工程包括修复复兴文艺复兴风格的正面立面，最初由托姆于1888-89年建造。

We built upon the unique design of this brownstone by including a rooftop, a rear addition and multiple architectural details such as archways to create a more open floor plan, a sculptural interior staircase, larger doors, larger windows for more natural light without compromising air leakage, and efficient and cost-effective mechanical systems, including solar panels to run the entire house. In addition, the five-story townhouse also includes several amenities from a finished cellar, wine room, billiards room, playroom, modern kitchen, multiple bedrooms, a yoga studio, entertainment room and exterior terraces.

我们以这种褐石的独特设计为基础，包括屋顶、后部加设和多种建筑细节，比如拱形建筑，以创造更开放的平面图、雕塑式的室内楼梯、更大的门、更大的窗户，在不影响透气的情况下，为更自然的光线提供更大的窗户，以及高效和成本效益高的机械系统，包括太阳能电池板来管理整个房子。此外，这座五层楼的联排别墅还包括几项设施，包括一个完工的地窖、酒室、台球室、游戏室、现代厨房、多间卧室、一个瑜伽工作室、娱乐室和室外露台。

BIA Interiors enhanced the newly designed open floor plan by integrating a light and neutral color palette with the use of lighter materials such as plush fabrics and natural woods. The designers worked closely with the client to incorporate their existing pieces from living abroad and many travels, while adding modern touches such as sculptural lighting and textured wallpapers. To balance the more traditional feel of the home, BIA Interiors selected a few new furniture pieces that helped make the space feel more modern and relaxed accommodating the family’s everyday lifestyle while also being a great space for entertaining and social gatherings.

BIA内部加强了新设计的开放式平面图，将轻盈和中性的调色板与较轻的材料(如毛绒织物和天然木材)结合起来。设计师们与客户紧密合作，将他们生活在国外和许多旅行中的现有作品结合在一起，同时增加了现代装饰，如雕塑照明和纹理壁纸。为了平衡家庭更传统的感觉，BIA内部选择了几件新家具，这些家具有助于让空间感觉更现代、更轻松，适应家庭的日常生活方式，同时也是娱乐和社交聚会的绝佳空间。
