Single-family home merging a preserved historic corner building with new 6-story construction.

 

This site was zoned for a 14-story building, but its location in the heart of the Tribeca Historic District meant that no such development would be permitted. TTC worked closely with Landmarks and a like-minded owner to instead develop a unique private home. On the exterior a new, contextually sensitive six-story steel-and-glass structure sits beside a meticulously preserved 2-story brick corner building; inside the two structures are fully intertwined, incorporating a a two-car loading dock, 50-foot indoor lap pool, gym, library, internal courtyard and screening room, in addition to 6 bedrooms and 11 baths.
